Hold camera button down half-way...
Hint: it's not the power button or the volume buttons... Hmm, what other buttons are left?

the round button under the 2d-3d switch. when you hold phone horrizontally the button is in the same place as a camera. its a "double" button. push it to first stop and it focuses, puch it all the way and it takes the pic.
also, most camera software allows you to tap on the screen and it will adjust focus in that area.

Hello xda, I just had a quick question.
Okay, so im not sure whether this is right: when in the camera app, on "normal" capture mode, I press the camera hard button, but the camera only goes into focus....thats it. It does not capture the picture...thus the normal mode is useless for me, please help.
Thank you
This was true for me too. What it is is that the button needs to be pressed hard. Try pressing it harder. Personally I prefer the touch capture cuz when I go to press the shutter button, the whole phone shakes up and the pictures come out blurry

It's kind of a Squeeze and hold action (!)

lol, easy mistake. you could always turn on "tap to take picture"
tap the screen, it focuses and then takes pic. easy!
The switch has 2 "switches", soft press, the camera focuses so that you can see if everything is ok, if you hold it like that and press a little harder, it will take a picture.

Most smarthones have this "dual press" feature.. it took me days to figure out how to snap a picture on my Omnia (back in the windows mobile days)
Try pressing it harder........
The button is now on the left side of my phone :lol
But the button on my phone has only a decorative function I guess...it doesn't do anything...no matter how hard I press...

Any way to make camera shutter a long press of a button? Or even the power button or volume button as long as we are in the camera app? I came from an evo 3d and then a photon both have an actual camera button and I miss it.

I know that we can map the volume keys as shutter, but I was hoping there was a mod available to map it to the power button. So power button as shutter, with volume keys as zoom in and out. Im pretty sure its possible, its mentioned here in the T-Mobile S4 thread as a feature for a rom. Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to set one of the physical keys as the camera button?

I don't understand why you would want to replace one of the physical buttons... You do KNOW we ONLY have volume buttons, home button and a power button? Right?...

Sounds like you're having a bit of "diarius" of the brain! now that's smart!
Seriously not sure you would want to do that but the menu button held down will get you to Google now so if it were possible I would start there.

The VGA camera in the front isn't very clear; gotta turn the phone around to take a good pic. Voice command doesn't work well outside. I was thinking of something like holding the power button while the camera app was open would = snap a pic instead of shutting the screen? :highfive:
Camera Zoom FX is a camera app. You can configure the volume up/down buttons as a shutter. There is also an app on the Play Store called Volshutter Camera, which allows you to configure the volume keys to activate the shutter.

Hello mensrius,
This is quite amazing, I am already using this feature with my p765 factory JB rom v20a. Pressing volume button (no matter up or down), while having stock camera app open, phone sets focus and snap a picture . May be you haven't tried it or this feature is missing in p769

Key may be broken then, if it only ocus and won't capture it won't launch camera either.
In dialer type "*#*#7378423*#*#" (no quotes) and go to Service tests -> Keyboard & Switch, press the camera to next stage see if you get "Camra" or only "Auto Focus"
hmmmmmm
I check it work in service test.

You get "Camera" in the test?
Have you installed any camera MOD, are you on Stock ROM?
thanks
