Documentation
V3
You're looking at the V3 version of VisionCamera, which features a full rewrite on the Android codebase and a huge refactor on the iOS codebase. If you encounter issues on V3, you can also downgrade to V2, which is still partially supported.
Example
function App() {
const devices = useCameraDevices('wide-angle-camera')
const device = devices.back
if (device == null) return <LoadingView />
return (
<Camera
style={StyleSheet.absoluteFill}
device={device}
isActive={true}
/>
)
}
