Research direction

Start by reproducing the discrepancy on the reported Redmi 12C running Android 14: compare the live camera feed with the photo taken in the same conditions. The issue names no files or tests, so locate the preview and capture entry points in the app. Done means the live feed gives a more representative indication of the captured image quality.
