Camera Capture Overlay
Design the camera capture overlay on top of a live viewfinder. The camera feed is the main canvas, with controls floating over it without blocking the frame.
The shutter sits in the bottom control zone, with flash and mode switch close enough for one-handed use but visually secondary to the capture action. The overlay should feel native to a phone camera, not a generic form.
Show a focus area indicator on the preview so the user can tell where the camera is targeting before they tap the shutter. It should read clearly against both bright and dark scenes.
This challenge is about hierarchy in motion: the live image stays visible, the controls stay legible, and the overlay does not make the viewfinder feel cluttered.
Treat the focus indicator as part of the preview, not as a floating widget—its contrast and placement should still work when the image behind it is busy.
