Where are all those smartphone camera "experts" who kept telling me a shutter button on an XPERIA was a bad idea because shutter buttons shake your photos too much?

I mean that was never true, and it was a silly criticism of an awesomely useful hardware feature, but I'm SURE we can expect all those slobs to be internally consistent and recommend against using Apple's version of the shutter button.

Right?

Okay... I'm a little ashamed to admit that I've had a Pixel 7 since they released and I didn't know that I can use my volume button to take a picture.

It's because the last Android version that came with a real user's manual was 2.2. No reason to be ashamed.

Wait until you hear you can double tap the power button to open the camera (even if your phone is locked). Another super useful feature.

Say whaaaaat! Damn, not having an easy way to open the camera from the lock screen has been bothering me ever since I switched from iPhone, and has cost me some great photo opportunities. Thank you!

It's wonderful and really well thought out! You can view the pics you've taken from this semi locked state but only the ones you took during this time.

I guess this means you can also steal a friend's phone and take a goofy pic to surprise them later when they're looking through their photos lol.

Yes, thank you! I tested it immediately and it worked. That'll be convenient.
