@Wayne-TP Thank you Wayne.

I understand the intent of turning off the spotlight when the camera isn’t actively viewed, since it helps preserve battery. However, this puts too much emphasis on battery life at the cost of functionality.

For many users, the spotlight might be used as a safety feature. In my case, I needed it to stay on for the full timer duration so I can safely walk through a dark area. Requiring the app to stay open or the phone screen active still consumes power—just on a different device—and prevents me from using multiple cameras as intended.

It would be more flexible if the spotlight stayed on for the set duration, allowing me to decide how to balance battery conservation and functionality. For example, my batteries are often at 100%, and therefore I would like to be able to make full use of the spotlight feature for the set duration.

You mentioned that this was the intended behavior, so instead of a bug with the app or camera, this would be in the category of a feature request.

Thanks again.

Paul.
