Bug description

For a few months now, when taking a picture directly with Signal, it's always too dark. On top of that, after I take the picture, it's showing more than what fit in the frame. Not sure how to describe this, but let's say I take a picture of a coffee cup, and it fits perfectly in the frame, once I take the picture, and see the result, it also includes the area around the coffee cup, meaning I always need to do additional cropping.

The A14 has four cameras, maybe it's picking the wrong one? I can only choose between front/back camera, not sure which of the three on the back it picks. I think it picks the correct one, because the macro and wide angle cameras take really low quality pictures, but the pictures taken with Signal are high quality, just too dark.

A workaround is obvious, use the regular camera app and then use Signal to send that picture. Or only take pictures outside in the sun.

I also have a Samsung S5, and this one doesn't have the problem.

Bug #12437 is possibly related, but it's old and stale.

I can share stuff from the debug log, just let me know which parts and I'll review them and share them.
