Description

Noticed that many pictures are with completely wrong focus and exposure.

Is it possible that the first termux-camera-photo call sets focus & exposure and subsequent calls don't refocus?

It might be an idea to create
termux-camera-focusmode mode [time]
mode: continous, infinity
which would set the camera to the given mode for the given timespan.

Research direction

Start at the termux-camera-photo entry point and trace how focus and exposure are configured across repeated calls. Reproduce the reported quality problem, then determine from the existing camera behavior what a completed fix or focus-mode command should consistently guarantee.
