The LotJitsu camera opens when you add a lot, and when you tap Add Photos or the + tile on a lot. This article explains each control on it.
Take photos
- Line the item up inside the corner brackets in the middle of the screen.
- Tap the round shutter at the bottom. Each photo joins the row of thumbnails above the controls, and the count beside the shutter goes up.
- To remove a photo you just took, tap the × on its thumbnail. To see it larger, tap the thumbnail.
- Tap Continue when you are starting a new lot, or Done when you are adding more photos to a lot.
Back, at the top left, closes the camera without adding anything.
Zoom
- Lens buttons: the round buttons at the bottom centre match your phone's lenses. The highlighted one shows the current zoom, for example 1× or 2.3×. Tap another to jump to that lens. If your phone has an ultra-wide lens, you also see a button such as 0.5.
- Pinch: spread two fingers on the picture to zoom in, and pinch them together to zoom out.
The camera starts at 1× every time it opens. You can zoom in to 10×, or less if your phone's camera stops sooner.
Flashlight
The flashlight button is at the bottom right.
- Tap it to turn the light on or off. When it is on, the button turns white. The light stays on while you frame the shot and while the photo is taken.
- Hold it to open a brightness slider. Slide up for brighter, down for dimmer. Sliding to the bottom turns the light off. Tap anywhere else to close the slider.
The flashlight is off every time the camera opens. The brightness slider works on every iPhone, and on Android phones whose flashlight supports brightness levels (Android 15 and later, where the phone allows it). On other phones, holding the button does nothing.
Add photos from your phone
Tap the photo library button at the bottom left. Choose one or more photos and confirm. They join the same row of thumbnails as the photos you take, and are turned upright for you.
Good to know
- A lot can have up to 150 photos. The camera tells you when you reach that, and a selection that goes over keeps the photos that fit. Your plan may allow fewer photos per lot.
- The Fast Entry Mode switch at the top appears only when you are adding a new lot. See Standard or Fast Entry Mode on your phone.
- If the camera can't start, or camera access is turned off, the screen says so and offers Use Device Photos. See Allow camera and photo access on iPhone or on Android.
