The Camera Preferences sheet — every capture setting in one place.

Opening Camera Settings

In the camera, tap the settings control — the settings sheet slides up.

Every Setting

SettingOptionsWhat it does
Aspect ratio16:9 / 4:3Wide for site overviews and landscapes; 4:3 for detail shots and print-friendly framing
Gridon/offRule-of-thirds overlay for composition
Level indicatoron/offAn accelerometer bubble-level HUD — shows when the phone is straight, so horizons and framing lines don't tilt
After captureOff / Annotate / NotesWhat happens the moment you take a shot (below)

The After-Capture Modes

  • Off — keep shooting; captures pile into the tray. The high-volume default.
  • Annotate — the annotation editor opens on every shot — for inspection runs where each photo gets marked up.
  • Notes — the photo tray opens so you add notes and adjust tags while the context is fresh.

Recommendation by Workflow

  • Progress documentation: Off + grid + level — speed and straight shots.
  • Punch-list walk: Annotate — circle it the second you shoot it.
  • Detailed survey: Notes — the note you write now beats the one you reconstruct tonight.

Settings persist across sessions — set them for the day's job type and shoot.
