Hey team,
I’m a passionate photographer (not a professional), and I bought this phone mainly for one reason — the periscope camera. The photography experience has been excellent so far, and the camera app is genuinely impressive.

Suggestion 1: Add an “Expert Mode” for Video
The camera app’s Pro/Expert mode for photography is fantastic — I use it a lot.
However, when I switch to video, there’s no equivalent option. It would be amazing if the app offered an Expert Mode for video recording, with manual controls for:
Focus
ISO / Shutter speed
White balance
Exposure lock
This would give creators like me much better control over our footage and help match the flexibility we already have in still photography.

Suggestion 2: Introduce a “Creator Mode” in the Gallery
As someone who’s both a 3D artist and a photography enthusiast, I’ve started shooting reels and short creative clips through the phone. Managing content after shooting can become tedious, especially when sorting between stills and videos.
Here’s what I’d love to see:
When a user enables Creator Mode in the gallery, it could automatically organize photos and videos more intelligently.
Creator Mode features:
Separate albums for Stills and Videos.
Auto-sorting by date and time of day (Morning, Noon, Evening/Golden Hour, Night).
Option to mark shots as “Not Needed”, so we can filter and bulk delete later.
Separate sub-album for Slow-Mo videos, following the same sorting pattern.
Optional sorting by location, for quick recall of shoot spots.
This system would make post-shoot organization far easier and boost productivity for creators who manage a lot of media content.

I really think these features would make Nothing OS even more creator-friendly without adding unnecessary complexity.
Thanks for hearing me out, and I’d love to know what you all think!
