Hello,

In Tizen 2.3 are no changes.

Tizen doesn`t support MediaStreamTrack from Media Capture and Streams specification.

From Tizen 2.3 documentation:

Only the front-facing camera is available in this version (Tizen 2.3 Mobile Profile).

Hi,
Only front camera. Regarding camera for web app, just fyi:

Hello,

 

Recently, Tizen 2.4 SDK for mobile was released. 

Tizen 2.4 SDK for mobile is supporting the "facingMode". So you can select the front or rear camera. :)

 

Please refer the following sample code.

// Rear Camera
var rearCamera = function () {
    navigator.getUserMedia(
    	{
		audio: false, 
		video: true,
		facingMode: "environment"
	} 
    , null, null);
};

// Front Camera
var frontCamera = function () {
    navigator.getUserMedia(
    	{
		audio: false, 
		video: true
	} 
    , null, null);
};

From the release notes: https://developer.tizen.org/development/tools/download/release-notes/2.4-oct-22-2015

GetUserMedia - Facing Mode support

    You can select the front or rear camera using JavaScript.
