[Q] Use power button as camera shutter? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I went into a pool and tried to take pictures from my S5, but it was very difficult to activate the shutter under the water.
Does anyone know if there is a MOD to use the power button as the camera shutter or have any other ideas of how to take photos under water?
Thanks

In the settings of the camera you can set the volume keys to take a pic or rec video or zoom.
The default is take pic.
So just use the volume keys. works great

I own a Galaxy Music, and it would be great to use its music button as camera shutter too... is there any post o help you can give me???... thanks

It would be best if some dev can mod the stock s5 camera.apk so that when you press the power button it would take a picture instead of locking the device. No one locks their phone while they're in the camera app, because they're gonna take pics so the power button is the perfect button for such a mod Please someone make this mod!

Camera button does not take pictures anymore

Hi guys
I've searched the web and this forum but haven't been able to find anything. I've got the R2AA010 rom installed, and the camera button no longer takes photos.
When I press the camera button the camera application starts up as normal. But to take a picture I have to press the action key now. This is annoying because I can no longer to the half press to make the camera focus.
Is there a way to change the camera button mapping in the camera application back to the camera button?
thanks

Can we make the camera app focus automatically?

Hey guys,
as I watched the presentation of the iPhone 3GS, I noticed that the HD camera only focuses when the capture button is pressed, which leads to a pretty long delay in taking the picture.
The iPhone 3GS focuses automatically and immediately takes the picture when the capture is pressed.
Can we somehow modify the HD camera to focus before we press the capture button and then immediately take the picture when the button is pressed? Any ideas?

uuh no,
just press the shoot button
nice answer but useless...
Just to put my two bits in, I agree with maati that focus before pressing the capture button would be a huge improvement.

That's not the only way.
You can also just tap the screen if you have touch focus set to "on".
But - granted - it is still not "auto focus".
The camera does auto focus when you first turn it on. It would be nice if it could keep that afterwards too.
Yes, even if you tap the screen to focus, the camera needs to focus again when you press the captue button. I'd like it to take the picture instantly.
I think you are talking about focus lock, so the camera just has to capture image when the shoot button is pressed as it has alrady focused. This would be a huge improvement.

I doubt you can make it take a picture with a hardware button. Yes, you can start the camera, but not actually take the shot.
that will activate the camera.
taking pictures, I am not sure but I hope there is something simular to Auto Hot Key.
if there is , then its going to be easy

Samsung Vibrant Camera

hey guys i was just wondering if anyone has found the camera to be annoying because you have to be literally holding the camera in front of you to take pictures because theres no dedicated camera button on the phone. i was wondering if its possible or if someone has already created some mod to where they can use lets say the volume up or down button to take the picture. i'd rather sacrifice the zooming feature with the volume rockers because i can zoom in and out right on the screen before i take the picture. thanks to anyone who has any information on this.

[Q] Volume Slider as Camera Shutter?

I am currently running Cyanogenmod 11, latest nightly.
Not sure when there was a change, but I recalled being able to use my volume rocker as a camera shutter button, but recently it appears that it zooms rather than takes a picture. Anybody know why this is? Or how to change it? Even while using cyanogenmod, I recall I used to be able to use the volume as a shutter, but recently I cannot.
Thanks for the help.

Look in the camera settings for a toggle to make the power button the shutter

I've looked and no such option exists. I've attached the camera settings that show up.
