First-time setup
When you launch the app for the first time, it asks for three permissions. You must grant all three to get started.
- Video (camera)
- Microphone
- Save to Camera Roll
Tap each row to grant it; granted rows turn into a filled checkbox. Once all three are granted, the camera screen opens.
The Show Professional Controls toggle on the same screen sets whether the full professional overlay is shown by default (you can change it later in Settings).
Main screen buttons
The live preview fills the screen, and overlays rotate to match the device orientation. Controls cluster around the center.
