Hi I have three questions about the camera app.

Is there a way to make the camera app go to the record/take picture screen every time you return to it? Sometimes I neglect to revert to the record screen and am slow to begin recording because the app is still in viewing mode.

Is there a way to make the play/pause button stay on the screen for longer? If I'm trying to go through a video little by little, the play/pause button disappears somewhat sporadically. Sometimes it'll stay visible for a few seconds; other times it will only stay visible for about one second.

Is there a way to zoom in on videos while viewing them in the camera app?

Thanks.

    The camera goes back to "Camera" mode by default. Are you closing the app fully? Sounds like you still have the app open in Recents, which is not closing the app for the record, so obviously its still going to show what the app was last doing. I don't think there's any way to change the "Recents" behaviour for any app but I could be wrong.

    As far as I can tell, no to both of these. You'll have to view the video in a separate gallery app. The camera app is not intended to be an all-in-one photo/video centre, so its features will be minimal with a focus on simply taking photos/videos securely and privately.
