2 stock pixel camera questions

[jackofhomes]

Is it possible to:

1-ONE word voice command to take a pic like "Cheese",

2-touch screen shutter?

Thanks!

1. No, not with the default camera app

2. Yes, sort of. Touch anywhere on the screen to force the focus point; tap the large virtual button near the bottom of the screen to activate the shutter:

Hey thanks. I knew that.

My bad - should have specified if there was an app to do those 2.

It'd be more convenient esp for selfies if I could touch it anywhere, as in simple mode in LG V10...

Actually tried installing Open Camera, and even though it HAS voice activated say "Cheese" capability, didn't work on the Pixel!

Ah, I see.

Camera Zoom FX does both touch anywhere to shoot and voice activated shutter. I have had it on my phone for a couple of years, but rarely use it so I can't speak specifically to other issues such as photo quality, etc.

All in all, though, it offers lots of cool options - definitely worth taking a look at.
