To enable additional shooting modes for the Camera app, open it and tap the cogwheel icon to access the settings menu. Next, scroll down and tap “Shooting methods.”
From this menu, you can turn different shooting methods ON or OFF and change the behavior of the volume key:
- Press volume buttons to: Take a picture or record video, Zoom in or out, and Control sound volume.
- Voice commands: When enabled, you can take pictures by saying one of the keywords, i.e., “Smile,” Cheese,” “Capture,” or “Shoot.” To record a video using your voice, say “Record video.”
- Floating Shutter button: Adds another shutter button that can be moved around on the viewfinder.

You can turn these shooting methods and settings ON or OFF individually.

To do this, open the Camera settings menu, access “Swipe shutter button to,” and select one of the two options.
