Choose Rear camera or Selfie in the camera drawer before capturing.

- Wait until the app is idle.
- Tap the three-horizontal-lines button at the bottom right, Camera controls.
- Under Camera setup, choose Rear camera for two outward-facing views, or Selfie for two views facing you.
- The drawer closes while cameras switch. Wait for the live previews, then check both compositions again.
- Capture normally in Photo mode or Video mode.
Rear camera uses the rear configuration saved in Settings, including Dual Lens when available and enabled. Selfie uses one front camera for both outputs. The app chooses its available front camera automatically, preferring the widest supported option. There is no front-camera lens picker.
Why a saved selfie differs from the preview
The selfie preview is mirrored, like a mirror. Saved front-camera photos and videos are not mirrored, so lettering and left/right placement can look reversed compared with the viewfinder. This applies to the front output in Both setups too. There is no saved-selfie mirror switch.
Changing setup may change zoom and framing. The app can restore zoom for a retained physical camera across Both role changes, but do not assume every camera switch preserves the previous view. Check both previews after switching.
