[BUG] Video Recording Extremely Dark at Night— Initial Brightness Drops to Black Instantly

[alpha87]

Bug Report

Description

When recording videos with FadCam at night or in low-light conditions, the video appears normally bright for a split second after starting, but then quickly becomes extremely dark—much darker than when using the default system camera app. This makes FadCam basically unusable in low-light scenes.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open FadCam at night or in a dim environment
2. Start video recording
3. Observe that the preview/recorded video is bright for an instant, but soon dims radically (within ~1 second)
4. (Optional) Compare with the default camera app's video recording under the same conditions

Expected Behavior

The app should adapt to low-light scenes, and the recorded video's brightness should be consistent with what the default camera app produces—there should be no sudden drop in brightness or extreme darkness after recording starts.

Actual Behavior

Immediately after hitting record, the video preview/recording is bright for a moment, but then the brightness drops dramatically and the scene goes nearly black. Compared to the system camera app, videos are much darker and low-light recording is not functional.

This issue is fixed in the beta4 version already. Download it from the below link and you can set the exposure level and it will remain consistent throughout the recording.
