Camera Hints - To Avoid Zooming with volume key....

[isabel95]

Switch your horizontal position so that the camera button is on the left! ("Samsung" on the right)

That will keep your left thumb off the volume key - which is something I repeatedly do because I need to get a good grip on the phone to shoot steadily. Your on screen icons will also reverse.

Great tip!

But mine doesn't zoom. It takes the photo. I must've changed that setting somehow.

In the camera settings you can set the volume buttons to either take a picture, zoom or record video.

I found that. And more. Thanks. There's a lot in there. I didn't know you could do all that with the video. Gonna have fun with the dogs tomorrow.

I don't use volume keys for zoom anyways, I set them to shutter. Taking pics with the volume key ever since Note2.

I keep mine for zoom.. with 4K you can zoom in a little any not worry about quality.
