Samsung Camera Assistant Week: Add speed to the shutter button

The Camera Assistant app can enhance or change the behavior of Samsung's Camera app in numerous ways. It expands upon the default app's feature set with additional options, one of which allows users to modify the way the shutter button reacts.

Today, we'll take a quick look at one Camera Assistant feature that, once enabled, can give users the feeling that the Camera app's shutter button is more responsive.

First, before we look into this shutter button option, here's a quick recap of Camera Assistant Week so far:

Change the behavior of the shutter button with Camera Assistant

Using Samsung's clever Camera Assistant app, you can make the Camera shutter button react quicker and take photos as soon as your finger touches it instead of when you lift your finger off the shutter button.

This feature is called “quick tap shutter,” and you can enable it by opening the Camera Assistant app and tapping the corresponding toggle ON.

When the quick tap shutter option is enabled, you can still capture GIFs, burst shots, and videos when you swipe and hold the shutter button, but the Camera will also take a picture.
