## When to read this
|
||
You already joined the event and want the full capture flow—including moderation and error handling.
|
||
|
||
## The essentials
|
||
- **Auto-optimization:** Photos are compressed automatically for faster uploads.
|
||
- **After upload:** Photos go straight to the gallery or first into review, depending on the event.
|
||
- **Errors:** You’ll get clear guidance and a retry option.
|
||
|
||
## Step-by-step
|
||
1. **Open the camera.** Tap the large camera button in the bottom nav, or start from a task.
|
||
2. **Keep task/emotion (optional).** If you came from Tasks, the assignment stays attached.
|
||
3. **Use camera tools.** Grid overlay, countdown timer, camera switch, and front-camera mirror are available.
|
||
4. **Review the photo.** Retake if needed or continue with the current shot.
|
||
5. **Upload.** Fotospiel auto-optimizes your image and shows progress.
|
||
6. **After upload.** If the event allows instant approval, the photo shows up in the gallery right away. If moderation is enabled, it goes to “In review” first.
|
||
7. **Fix errors.** You’ll get clear guidance (retry, check permissions, or try again later).
|
||
|
||
## Tips
|
||
- **Import existing images:** Tap the gallery icon in camera view.
|
||
- **Large files:** Auto-compression helps. Keep the app open while uploading.
|
||
- **Review status:** The notification panel shows pending review counts.
