Same on my OnePlus 6T, although the OnePlus 5T that I was using until very recently does not have this problem. ETA both devices run LineageOS 18.

Also on my OnePlus 6T, this app can't seem to focus the camera properly, which means that scans using the image processor come out all white. Idk if that is related, but maybe both are due to the camera API level?

I'm not a maintainer for OpenNoteScanner, but I would say it is a problem of API level and/or of camera driver. In the case of the Xperia in particular, the camera subsystem is only usable with full functionality by Sony themselves; they lock the camera resolution available throught the standard API.

I had the same type of problem with my Xperia Z5 - nice camera, only usable with the sony photo app. All other camera app were limited.
