Volume key taking photos.

[IMANUT46]

Does anyone else have a problem taking a photo with the volume key in the landscape mode?

Have you tried to move the rocker action to something else (like Zoom) and then move 'back' to Shutter? Does it only fail in landscape?

When in landscape, it reset the camera to VIDEO mode.

So the issue is not with the volume rocker but, when you're taking pictures in portrait, if you move your phone to landscape it switches to video mode instead of just flipping the picture? Have you tried switching back to Picture, exiting the camera, and trying again (wondering if it 'remembers' which mode you used for both portrait and landscape)?

I've tried all variations. The volume key works perfectly for portrait. I then delete the photo and try the landscape mode for the same photo but it displays as a video when viewing.

Do you happen to have motion settings on?

This is what I'm asking about?

That's what's strange about this. The settings do not change when I move the camera to landscape. It doesn't change after the photo is taken. It's weird and joins the other camera problem of the TAKE A PICTURE command Refusing to work in the landscape mode. The camera switches to portrait involuntarily.

I don't know then. Mine works in either landscape or portrait orientation.

And the take a selfie command works from the assistant.

Your right. I didn't know that you had to use the word SELFI in place of PICTURE. It works perfectly. Thanks for the tip.
