Research direction
The issue names no files, tests or entry points, so there is no obvious starting point in the Kotlin Android codebase. Before writing code, read CONTRIBUTING.md and find where the app configures its camera capture. Scope is undecided: ISO, shutter, white balance, focus, exposure and RAW are all listed, and the thread has no maintainer decision. Done would mean maintainers agree on which controls to build and where the Pro Mode toggle lives.

Feature description
Fossify Camera should include a Pro Mode that allows users to manually adjust key camera settings, similar to the Google Pixel Camera. This could include:
ISO Control (adjust sensitivity for better low-light or fast-motion shots)
Shutter Speed (control motion blur and exposure time)
White Balance (adjust color temperature for accurate tones)
Focus Control (manual focus adjustment for precise subject sharpness)
Exposure Compensation (fine-tune brightness levels)
Why do you want this feature?
Currently, Fossify Camera operates with automatic settings, which limits control over photo quality. A Pro Mode would allow users to fine-tune their shots, making it ideal for low-light photography, long exposures, and artistic compositions. Many modern camera apps include manual controls, and adding them would make Fossify Camera more powerful while still respecting its simple and open-source design.
Additional information
The Pro Mode could be a toggle in the settings or a separate camera mode.
UI should remain clean and minimal, with sliders or dials for adjustments.
Could integrate a RAW capture option for higher-quality post-processing.
