Bug Description

In the QML scanner version, the camera component is unstable. This bug should collect our information about this behaviour.

* On my desktop, the still images taken by the webcam with QML are sometimes too dark. It seems that the images are either all good or all bad between two starts of the app (not always however). Attatched are two screen recordings showing this behaviour.

* The viewfinder images (the video) are neither over nor underexposed.

* Output I get when runnging the touch-scanner app:

- every time:
"Focus mode selection is not supported"

- sometimes:
"virtual bool QSGVideoItemSurface::present(const QVideoFrame&) I'm getting bad frames here...
virtual bool QSGVideoItemSurface::present(const QVideoFrame&) I'm getting bad frames here... "

- once:
"CameraBin warning: "Internal data flow problem." "

* The webcam I use on the desktop is a built-in and has the following properties:
> v4l2-ctl --all

Sometimes images are also half ok, half slightly too dark...
