Xiaomi: Customize the Camera Feature Layout

If your camera app only shows modes you never use while Night or Pro mode stays buried under More, the feature layout on your Xiaomi is still set to default. You can add, remove or reorder quick-access modes like Portrait, 48M, Panorama, Documents, Slow motion or Time-lapse directly in the camera settings. Which modes are available depends on your specific device model.

Customize Camera Feature Layout auf Xiaomi

On Xiaomi phones, the row of camera modes above the shutter button is called the feature layout. By default, MIUI only shows a handful of modes like Photo, Video and Portrait, while options such as Pro, Night, 48M, Panorama, Documents, Slow motion or Time-lapse get pushed into the More menu. If you use one of these secondary modes often, having to open More every time slows you down.

The feature layout setting lets you rearrange this row so the modes you actually use sit within reach, and modes you never touch get removed from the quick-access strip. Which modes are offered depends on the camera hardware of your specific model, so not every option listed here will appear on every device.

Removing a mode from the layout does not delete it. It only hides it from the quick-access row; you can still reach it later through More, or add it back the same way. If a mode you expect is missing entirely from the list, that mode is not supported by your camera hardware rather than hidden by a setting.

Frequently asked questions

The list under Tap on Feature layout only shows modes your specific camera hardware supports. Modes like 48M or Documents are not available on every Xiaomi model.
