Answer 1

As mentioned in the error message ImagePicker.getImage() return a PickedFile

You can convert it to File type like this:

PickedFile pickedFile = await ImagePicker.getImage(
  source: ImageSource.camera,
  maxHeight: 675,
  maxWidth: 960,
);
            
File imageFile = File(pickedFile.path);

Intstall image picker and setup correctly

              ),
              onPressed: () {
                openImagePickerModal(context);},
              child: Text('Select Image'),
            ),

          child: Container(
              height: 200,
              width: 200,
              child: Image.file(
                _image,
                fit: BoxFit.fill,
              )),
        ),

  void openImagePickerModal(BuildContext context) {
    final flatButtonColor = Theme.of(context).primaryColor;
    showModalBottomSheet(
        context: context,
        builder: (BuildContext context) {
          return Container(
            height: 180.0,
            padding: EdgeInsets.all(20.0),

                    'Use Camera',
                    style: TextStyle(fontSize: 15),
                  ),
                  onPressed: () {
                    Pickimage(context, ImageSource.camera);
                    Navigator.pop(context);
                  },
                ),
                FlatButton(
                  textColor: flatButtonColor,
                  child: Text(
                    'Use Gallery',
                    style: TextStyle(fontSize: 15),
                  ),
                  onPressed: () {
                    Pickimage(context, ImageSource.gallery);
                    Navigator.pop(context);
                  },
                ),
              ],
            ),
          );
        });
  }

Function for Selecting Image from gallery or camera Image

  Future Pickimage(BuildContext context, ImageSource source) async {
    if (source != null) {
      final pickedFile = await ImagePicker.pickImage(source: source);

      setState(() {
        if (pickedFile != null) {
          _image = File(pickedFile.path);
       
        } else {
          print('No image selected.');
        }
      });
    } else {}
  }

If you want to work with your above code you have to change the package version

change the dependencies in pubspec.yaml file

 image_picker: ^0.6.0
