Camera Control

What do we think of Camera Control?

Have you used it a bunch? Is it useful or a gimmick?

Or too early to tell

It’s most convenient for photos shot in landscape mode. The Camera Control button is awkwardly placed for photos shot in portrait mode.

Do you find yourself using the button to control the zoom? Or any of the other options they showcased?

I’ve tried it with the zoom.

I've been playing with it on my mother's 16PM, and it is very neat for sure. The problem is that I don't take many pictures in landscape. Most quick shots are in portrait. Also, if I am taking pictures on vacation with the intention of posting them to Facebook or Instagram, I will always choose portrait photos.

It's also just a little awkward. I find you have to push hard to get it to take the picture, instead of changing the camera control menu. This makes me shake the phone, ending with a picture that looks shaky.
