Is it possible to assign another button to take the picture other than the trackball button? would really love it if we could use for e.g the volume buttons to take the pictures, it would make it so much easier.
If it helps, you can also take pictures by pressing down on the screen.

thanks that helps but would really like the volume buttons to be able to take the photo, i hope someone can make this happen in the future
Hello! Nobody working to map the Home or Power On button to take pictures? Regards..
Yeah, was looking for this as well... Looked into tasker but that doesn't seem to be appropriate for it (was thinking something 'in camera app, if btn pressed, do this)
power button for taking pictures would be awesome!

wouldn't that mean you cant turn off your phone or on because if theres a dedicated camera key theres no power button
i´d say the camera app should be modded to use the power key, so only when camera is open this is true.
well on JM2 the powe button does something when you use the camera ... it lock every function
that's weird because you can't do anything ... no taking pictures, no killing the app, only unlock it by pressing the power button again
I agree this i cool in the video player
but in the camera ?!?

Selftimer.
Not a self-timer afaik. Even a lock icon comes up. I have used it a few times. Basically when you wait to take a picture you can have the picture app open and then have it in the pocket ready to be taken out, so you don't have to worry about a) opening the app quickly when you want to take the pic, b) having the app open and taking pictures/returning to home when you don't want to. Not a "must-have" feature by any means and it probably uses a lot more battery than just opening the app when you want to.
Changing it to take pictures would be most welcomed. Tapping on the screen is quite a delicate thing when you don't want to move the phone at all.
I meant that it could get practical if you put the camera on selftimer and lock the screen so you don't mistakenly press any button.

Why we don't make a donation for that? I will put 10€ for the cause

ok, but i found this still stupid
it empty the battery for nothing, and people who don't take much attention won't see the lock icon so they will think : **** it bugged ....

I was looking at this, as I want some way to take pics quickly. Home and Power button don't seem easily do-able, but does anybody want the following?
Quick launching app that you can put on your homescreen, that launches a camera preview. Tapping on the screen takes a pic and saves it to /sdcard/$date.jpg
Not quite a dedicated camera button, but should be very fast for taking a quick picture. If a couple people want it, I'll throw it together quickly. (Might just throw it together for myself quickly anyway )

I find the lock function to be useful when taking long videos as I've accidental knocked the stop button on occasion by accident.
On a second note, if a physical shutter button was sought-after wouldn't the volume buttons be more effective as the power button is fairly near the top and you'll probably end up covering the lens versus using the volume buttons on the bottom (this is presuming you're taking pictures in landscape, right?)
Looking for a camera app that allows me to use the volume key to take a picture. Camera zoom fx wasnt bad, but want to see what other options are out there.
Thanks!
Camera Button
Attached is the stock aosp but modded to allow the volume button to take pictures. I take no credit for this the original thread is linked

Is there a mod that will let me use the volume keys to take a picture? And what app do you guys recommend to take pictures or just stick with stock?
I think it would be better to use the power button to take pictures, that way u could use the volume buttons to zoom in and out
App called Camera Zoom FX allows you to assign volume keys to camera. Pretty good app, too.

Are there any tweaks for camera in Galaxy Nexus running stock Jelly Bean to take pictures using the power button instead of the on screen button and use volume rocker to zoom in/out without loosing their functionality ie they act like shooter and zoom in/out buttons when in camera and when not using camera like power and volume rocker? And even if possible burst mode?

You can take pictures while recording by tapping the screen on video mode
Little search will give you results like this..

On the stock JellyBean nope there is not. Some ROMS do have the option to change it.
Or you can buy this small app from the PlayStore called Camera ICS + which allows you to change the Volume+/- functionnality.

But it completely changes power button to camera shooter. Can't I make it switch its functionality automatically when I'm in camera and when I'm not? So that I don't have to change it every time and also it reboots every time I change it. And what happens if I don't check the option to hot reboot after the changes are applied?
