with my A5 i have it setup so camera emblem pops up & then i click on it to open it to which ever part i want to open. however the missus has hers so it just automatically downloads all pics .... somewhere. has your phone recently updated?.

had a quick look re .heic & found -

Why are my photos HEIC instead of JPG?
HEIC is the file format name Apple has chosen for the new HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) Standard. Using advanced and modern compression methods, it allows photos to be created in smaller file sizes while retaining a higher image quality compared to JPEG/JPG.
