It's unclear if this is a bug or a new feature but I have noticed that my photos starting coming out looking more stylised than expected and worked out that it was because photographic styles were being applied even tho I was taking photos through a third party app.

Is there a way to disable this behaviour if it is intended? I've raised a feedback report #FB23632714

This is still an issue in developer beta 5 and is app-breaking for me and many others. I have provided a sample app here where you can reproduce the issue. Press the (i) app example for more information: https://github.com/alexfoxy/photographic-styles-test

One way to disable the Photographic Styles on the output is to use “.speed” quality setting, however this is not a viable workaround.
