Research direction

Start by reading the camera capture and settings entry points, then compare with the related manual exposure-controls request in #284. Identify how ISO and shutter speed can be set and retained across sessions; done means users can configure default values that are automatically applied to quick shots.

Feature description

It would be great to have a way to set default ISO and/or shutter speed values that the app applies automatically and remembers between sessions, so the correction only needs to be dialed in once and every quick shot afterward benefits from it.

Why do you want this feature?

Low-budget phones (e.g. Moto G15) often have camera hardware that struggles with exposure, and third-party camera apps tend to overexpose in tricky lighting. Motorola's own camera app handles this correctly, so it's clearly fixable in software.

Additional information

This is related to #284 (manual exposure controls), but a distinct request.

Manual ISO/shutter speed controls (as requested in #284) would help, but aren't enough on their own: I often need to take a photo quickly, with no time to open an exposure menu and adjust sliders first.
