Title:
  Picture shown != picture taken. Breaks flash light pictures.

Status in camera-app:
  Confirmed
Status in camera-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  MEIZU MX4 running official release 15.04(r4)

  Main problem:
  When you take a picture in the camera app, the app makes a shutter sound and freezes the display for a second. Then you see this picture slide to the right (presumably "into the gallery"). This would be a really nice piece of well done user feedback -- if it wasn't lying to the user. The picture you will find in the gallery is NOT the one you have seen sliding to the right. Instead, the picture actually taken is produced some milliseconds later!
  You can easily show this by taking a picture of a running stop watch. I first noticed it when taking pictures of a jumping person: The "feedback picture" always showed a person in the air. It was very disappointing finding my gallery full of persons already back on the ground, when I looked at it later.

  Follow up problem:
  The flash light is obviously synchronized to the preview picture, not the picture really taken. This completely breaks flash light pictures.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open camera app
  2. Set flash to on or auto
  3. Enter a dark room
  4. Take a picture
  5. Observe that the "feedback picture" that slides to the right shows a properly lit photograph.
  6. Go to the gallery and observe that the picture actually taken shows complete darkness.

  I.e.: Flashlight pictures are broken. You cannot take flashlight pictures with the Ubuntu phone in the current state of the app.
  This seems to me like a rather severe problem?
