Shooting modes: photo, timelapse, hyperlapse, slow-mo, panorama

[erik-sutton95]

Operators should be able to put the Pocket in Photo, Slow-Mo, TimeLapse, HyperLapse, and (if the camera has it) Panorama from OpenPocketCine, not only Video.

The core already tables several modes. The live capture bar MODE tile is exposure auto/manual, not shooting mode. The shooting-mode picker body exists and is currently unused.

What is already in tree

enum ShootingMode: UInt8 {
    case slowMo = 0x00
    case video = 0x01
    case timeLapse = 0x02
    case photo = 0x17   // Pocket 4. Nano 0x05 ACKs 0xEE if you send 0x17
    case hyperLapse = 0x0A
    case superNight = 0x28
}

• SET 0x02/0xE1 — sparse table, do not enumerate unknown values
• Echo 0x02/0x80 @57
• Shutter: Photo / SuperNight → still 0x02/0x01; else record 0x02/0x02
• Rec button a11y already says “Take photo” when isPhoto
• CaptureSheet.mode UI lists all cases but nothing opens that sheet
• Video format SET is only 1080p / 4K at 24–60 fps. No 100/120 indices yet

Workstreams (hardware-gated)

1. Surface Video / Photo (ship first)

• Live chip or rec-options row that opens shooting mode (do not overload the exposure MODE tile)
• Video ↔ Photo on Pocket 4 / 4 Pro, prove still vs record
• Gate Slow-Mo / TimeLapse / HyperLapse / SuperNight until each is captured

2. Nano photo

• Table Nano SET 0x05 vs Pocket 0x17 (status already accepts 0x05)
• Do not send Pocket 0x17 to Nano

3. Slow-Mo

• Capture fps / resolution payload beyond 0xE1 00
• UI only after the table exists (likely >60 fps, not current VideoFrameRate)

4. TimeLapse / HyperLapse

• Capture interval, duration, shot count, motion (HyperLapse)
• Per-mode parameter sheet once opcodes are tabled

5. Panorama + SuperNight

• Capture Mimo pano / SuperNight or mark won't-do
• No panorama case exists today

Done when

Video and Photo are operator-reachable and hardware-proven on Pocket 4 / 4 Pro. Other modes are either tabled + UI, or explicitly deferred with a capture note.

Tracked as maintainer tasks #81 (Video/Photo) and #82 (remaining modes, blocked on #81).
