A trick in Samsung phones to take a picture or dozens of pictures with your phone without touching the screen or unlocking the phone
One of the most used functions on smartphones today is taking photos. It is not for nothing that manufacturers strive to make their devices better and better. Samsung, for example, wants its S24, which will be presented soon, to be the king in this regard. And this applies not only to high-end models, but also to mid-range ones.
In fact, it is very common for buyers to look for a “cheap” phone that can take good pictures. There you can see that the importance given to photography is equal to that given to price. There are some interesting models of phones that take professional pictures and are priced under $ 300.
But one of the advantages of mobile phones for taking pictures is that we always carry them with us. There is a very famous quote, attributed to Galen Rowell, the American nature photographer, that says, “The best camera is the one you have with you.” And this is true, because there is no point in having an expensive professional camera at home if you don’t have it with you when you need it.
This also applies to the ability to take a picture without having to adjust the camera, even without having to unlock the mobile phone. Samsung knows this and has configured its devices so that you can turn on the camera and even take pictures without having to touch the screen.
In order to open the camera, you have to press the power button twice, with the screen off. This will bring up the camera app interface and allow you to adjust all the settings, and even tap on the white circle to take the photo. But we said it wasn’t necessary to touch the screen, right?
Yes, that's right. If you want, you can activate the camera by double-pressing and then simply take a photo by pressing the volume down button or the volume up button, either will do. What's more, if you hold down either of these buttons, it will activate burst mode, so you can take dozens of photos in a moment.
This is especially useful because if you're using this mode to take photos, there's a situation where speed is required, which won't allow you to focus or frame well, so bursting can help. Once you've taken the photos, you can choose which one looks best.
