Hi all,
I have my Fairphone sinceā¦ one month! And a smartphone sinceā¦ one month too!! So Iām a real newcomer in the discipline.
I have some friends that have other smartphones that use also Android and they can use the volume button as the camera shutter. Is that possible with the Fairphone to do that?.. and what is the method to do that?
I actually have a Cherry 1.6 (Android 4.2.2).
Thanks for your answersā¦ and sorry if the answer is already in the forum (I have not found it o_O )
Donāt think (but I might be wrong) the default camera app allows you to link volume button to the shutter, but there are a lot of other apps that do. At present Iām testing āOpen Cameraā (free, can be found in Play Store) and there the volume button can be used for taking photo/focus/zoom and a few other alternatives.
First of all: welcome to the world of smartphones and in general welcome to the Fairphone family!
Another app Iāve found that uses the volume buttons as the cameraās shutter is VolShutter . I havenāt tried it yet but it seems like a decent app. Perhaps you should to give it a try
@Pierrot: āBiedt in-app-aankopenā simply means that you can buy additions, or a pro/full license, from within the app (without having to open PlayStore separately). It has become more or less standard for Android (and iPhone) apps. It has nothing to do with ads or having to pay for the app itself.
As I understand, it is perfectly safe as long as you have protected yourself against unapproved purchases!!! Go to PlayStore settings > User control - Require passwordā¦ and make your choice. āFor all purchases through GooglePlayā (default) is strongly recommended!
Oh, and I agree with what you say about Open Camera - it would be great if it was possible to choose scene mode directly from the screen. Much more valuable than those rather odd options now available, e.g. compass direction and free memory.
thanks so much for the tip of using Open Camera, it works great!
I already gave up on using the selfie stick, it was laying in a drawer for almost a year now, just found it and now I have it working, thanks so much
