Ok, we need to set the nosereductionmode, but I don't know why we have to set this command. I Set nothing special on my camera to set this paramater?
Same thing thing exposure when using flash in dark situation.
Thanks.

For a better resolution set the layout height to 70% of the screen. Since this uses camera 2 API, I couldn't find any solutions for the auto-focus like in the built-in camera.
NoiseReductionMode calls the camera API, and its effect varies on different devices.
If your device can set focus distance, then there is a block for that. That will throw an error if that functionality doesn't exist.

Hello canalrun - what exactly prevents you from using the current camera library?
Hi.
Seems so cooool!!!
But I'm sorry I'm unable to find the Component "HorizontalArrangement1" block.
So I can't try it 
Any Help?
Thanks and best regards.
@starsky I think you should learn some basics first.
And with a simple Google search, you could have found the solution quickly.

Thanks! 
I just was searching in the proCamera pane
Very nice component. I would like (if possible of course) use it to recognize by OCR a password in the form AH1F5-U98X9-BRODY-7F78C printed on a bookmark and unfortunately near to a text and a QR code. So I would like, if possible, to take a "restricted" picture, the user should frame the pasword inside a rectangular object (that is a part of what the camera sees) that may be a HorizontalArrangement. I made a quick trial .but seems to me that I can not simply fix the size of the component I use as the output of the camera because the camera displays all what it sees in that component. Is there a way to do what I want using your nice component?
Reading above, it is suggested to use TakePreviewPicture which captures the arrangement, and use the Zoom or PinchToZoom feature as well

I tried Procamera extension for appinventor version 01-may-2021. The objective is very simple, to take pictures in the dark. So the solution is basic, turn the flash ON, take a picture, and turn off the flash at regular intervals. But it doesn't work properly. I see serious buggs with your extension, there are obviously problems between the commands to turn on and off the flash and taking pictures. Attached is an example of a program that does not work. Thanks for your help.

The problem lies in your blocks coding, not the camera extension.
Put the Flash = false in the savedPhoto event

I tried Procamera extension for appinventor version September 28 2021- September 28 2021. To take pictures but it doesn't work and when we press the button for the Procamera to active, the screen closes and goes out of the app. What have I forgotten and not added in the program code? Please Help.
Hi, can you share a screenshot of how it looks? Also, did you gave it the necessary permissions to work with?

I think this problem was solved by adding a CAMERA permit. Thanks.

Yeah, I had actually completed it for both things, for some reason it couldn't work on the latest Android, so I never released it.
So Yes, but No 
Looks complicated setting up the MediaRecorder!
