Two shutter buttons on the Camera Screen???????? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Don't know how or when it happened, but I just noticed it this morning. I have two shutter buttons on my camera screen. (See photo). They both work, but I do not know how the second one got there or how to remove it.

It's a movable shutter button. You can turn it off in the camera options (scroll down to the "Floating Camer Button" toggle)

@Mr. Moe That is called "floating camera button". It adds an extra camera button that you can move anywhere on the screen in Auto and Selfie modes. You can turn it off by opening camera app and tap on gear in upper right corner and then scroll down to deselect floating camera button. Hope this helps.

How can i take photos using the front camera?

Is there any way that i can take pictures using the front camera? Is there any program or something else that i can use to do that?
Camera app from X1 can do that!
Just go to the camera app settings and change from "back camera to "front camera"
i can't find that setting, whaere exactly is it? Can you tell me what to do?
Open the camera app
Press the bottom right button for settings
When that screen opens press the bottom right button again
When go to the top tab and it is the first option
ok i found it!!! thank's a lot!!

Activate camera with physical shutter button

Greetings all,
Per the above; is this possible? Hoping for an outcome whereby pressing the physical shutter button, whilst the phone is turned on, but not in the camera, loads up the camera app.
Thanks in advance
Yep, you just hold the shutter button down and it activates the camera from any screen. Also works when the device is locked and screen is off.
Can you reverse this with settings?
So can you stop the camera loading up by some setting on the phone disabling the physical shutter button?
As it's being accidentally pressed while getting the phone out of my pocket?
Cheers!
Probably not without rooting, but the button requires a fairly long, full press to activate the camera so I can't see it accidentally starting the camera by just getting it out of a pocket (it's certainly never happened to me)

It is possible to disable this feature. I have done this since I kept getting pocket pictures as well. You have to go into the camera app, open the menu and select the third tab (the one with the screwdriver and spanner icon). The first setting on that tab is called "Hurtig start" on my phone which is in danish. I would expect this to be a translation from "Quick start" or something like that. This setting have four options, the last one being "Slukket" which is probably a translation of "Turned off". When selecting this option the physical camera button stops doing anything unless you are already inside the camera app.
Sorry about it being landscape

Camera app bug

It appears if you have burst mode turned on, there is no way to take a single picture with the half -> full press button sequence. It automatically categorizes it as a burst, even if you only take one. This is annoying because you can't scroll through all images in the gallery. Anyone else experience this?

Why is this in Themes & Apps ??
Because the camera app is an "app"

Change it to another mode if you don't want it to take burst shots..
That's rather the point of that mode really..

You aren't understanding. There is different behavior. Using the soft button, you can take a single shot with a rapid press. You can also rapid press the hard button and get a single shot. Once you use the hardware button with a half press, you get a single shot but in a burst sub folder no matter how fast you press the button. Bug

I'm not sure that's a bug, bro. You turn on burst mode, all photos save in burst folder. Sounds like they probably intended that, unless I'm missing something....

Suggest you please move this thread to "Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"...
I don't think I can move threads. A mod is free to although you could argue either way for which forum this goes in.
The bug is undeniable. I didn't turn on "burst mode", I turned on "burst on long press" - HUGE difference. Behavior should be the same across different input methods. So pressing the soft button quickly focuses and shoots one normal shot in the gallery. Pressing the physical shutter quickly shoots one normal shot in the gallery. Pressing the physical shutter half way and then fully depressing shoots a single shot but "categorizes" it as a burst shot so even though there is only 1 picture, it shows the burst icon and has its own folder.
Understood your problem, same on my device. The thing is we only want a burst sequence when we press the shutter full for a longer time. If we press it full only once, it should make a normal photo. Thats what i would expect from this function.

bingo
Same for me. Have switched off the function. Shame as there doesn't seem to be another way to take a burst of photos. There's a "timeshift burst" photo app which is nice but it's not the same and only takes low res photos.

[Q] camera not working properly after root, pic attached

This is what the camera looks like. taking up less space than usual. also none of the camera buttons / options work, i can only take photos with volume keys. cant change to front camera or adjust any settings
(Camers isnt using whole screen, the entire thing takes up only the top right corner.
Lastly, the bottom left touch button to flick between open apps/ programs isnt working either, and keyboard occasionally freezes.
And idea how to fix?
I rooted and using XPOSED.

Try app settings and change the resolution to the size of your screen and that should fill up the screen, not sure about your button problems

Is it possible to port the old camera to the new Pie One UI

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is compatibility for the old camera app on the new One Ui? Or is it possible to port it now or in the future?
Two things make the camera a downgrade when switching to the new One UI, for me at least:
- You had a separate button for video and picture, so you were one touch away from taking either a video or a picture. I had a really nice setup where I could take a video with the volume buttons and open camera and take picture with 1 click of the Bigsby button. This proved really useful when i went horse back riding for the first time, or with gloves on when the screen is not responsive.
- More importantly: You had a dual shot mode where you could take pictures/video with both cameras at the same time. This was really useful when trying to fit more people in a picture, or even for me to be in there, and have a nice memory stored.
They also locked the Bigsby button so you can no longer disable it... again...
Search for the app on apkmirror and try installing it.

I agree with you. I would also like the previous functionality of having both the camera and video buttons on the same screen again.
As far as the Bixby button goes, you can use BxActions to disable and remap the button. It works pretty well.

I do use BxActions,but how do you prevent Bigsby from appearing when you press it? You used to have to disable it from the Bigsby app, and yo no longer have that option.

I disabled my single press function. I only have a long-press function for my flashlight. Bixby doesn't show up for me when I single-, double-, or long-press the button. Occasionally it'll show the icon at the top and it did open Bixby once, but I couldn't figure out under which circumstance that was and I couldn't replicate it again since. Bottom line, Bixby doesn't show up for me when I press the button.
