I apparently grab it at the bottom with one, you know, my thumb on, like, the left side of where the camera control is, and my other finger is exactly on the camera control. And it's a flush button. It doesn't even stick out. I was hitting that button like crazy. I'm like, okay, well...

i can retrain myself but that's an unfortunate personal habit apparently i grabbed the phone by the camera control and so i have signed up for hitting that button accidentally a lot i'm getting better and unfortunately i think part of the way i'm getting better is learning not to press as hard which is good in that i won't activate the flush button but bad in that now i'm not gripping the phone as hard when i pick it up which i feel like it's just an increased drop risk but that's a thing so setting that aside get that apple care

Yeah, I do have it using using the actual camera control button. I would not have predicted this based on their previews in our discussion of this, but because we talked about like the whole idea of them modeling it after like half press on a real camera shutter button.

And even though that feature for half press focus isn't even shipping yet, the way you get into those menus that Marco was talking about, these little things is you essentially half press right to get to the thing where you can change the zoom and the focal depth and that whole menu system. And yes, that is modal.

And the only way I've discovered to get out of it is to touch anywhere on the screen, which is a reasonable way to get out of it. But I kind of wish there was a way to get out of it by without taking a picture by hitting the camera control. But I think you have to actually touch the screen to say, I want to get out of this mode where I'm adjusting things with the camera control. Right.

But here's the kicker. This is the thing I wouldn't have predicted. The half press on the camera control button to activate the menus is unlike any half press on any big camera that I've ever used in my entire life in that it is way, way more difficult to get to it.

Like it is a thing that you have to train your fingers to do because if you just do what you would do to half press a real camera button, you've pressed it all the way. That's too far. So it's like... how do I half press this button? And you have to press so much lighter than you think. And I know there's this preference to adjust this or whatever, but it's such a strange sensation.

You're like, am I even pressing it? Or am I just thinking hard about pressing it and it activates it? You can do it. You can learn to do it. But it is so much more of a precise, delicate gesture than I expected it to be. I fully expected... I've been half pressing shutter buttons for... you know, years and years, right? Decades, right?

I fully expected it would just be completely natural for me to half press it. Absolutely not. It is so much more delicate than I thought it would be, which I don't personally mind because I think I'm never going to use those menus now that I've experienced them. I don't think I'm ever going to use them to adjust anything. Maybe I'll do the zoom one because it has the advantage.

I hate pinching to zoom. It has the advantage that I can zoom while, you know, having the phone in like,
