Consider extracting deviceOrientationManager.getDefaultDisplayRotation() to a local variable before calling proxy.newImageCapture. This avoids calling the platform multiple times, which could be inefficient.

final int defaultDisplayRotation = await deviceOrientationManager.getDefaultDisplayRotation();

imageCapture = proxy.newImageCapture(
resolutionSelector: presetResolutionSelector,
/* use CameraX default target rotation */ targetRotation:
await deviceOrientationManager.getDefaultDisplayRotation(),
targetRotation: _initialDefaultDisplayRotation,
);

// Configure ImageAnalysis instance.
// Defaults to YUV_420_888 image format.
imageAnalysis = proxy.newImageAnalysis(
resolutionSelector: presetResolutionSelector,
/* use CameraX default target rotation */ targetRotation: null,
targetRotation: _initialDefaultDisplayRotation,
);

// Configure VideoCapture and Recorder instances.

Instead of calling deviceOrientationManager.getDefaultDisplayRotation() directly within setTargetRotation, consider storing the value in a variable and reusing it. This avoids redundant calls to the platform, improving efficiency.

await videoCapture!.setTargetRotation(
  rotation,
