FAQ/Notes:
1. Swipe up or down to switch cameras.
2. High battery consumption?
• After you finish using the app so that it closes completely and no longer consumes battery and stops using the phone's camera, you should close the app using the "Back" button (bottom on the Galaxy Watch), not the "Home" one (top on Galaxy Watch) which will allow the app to continue running but in the background.
3. Connection issue?
• Tap "Settings / Permissions" inside the Camera One app on the phone and follow the instructions.
• Try to uninstall the Camera One app from your phone, install it again, and grant all the permissions the app asks you to. And you should allow everything, not just some of the requested ones, in order for the app to work correctly; and do not change the default app settings, until you check.
