606: A Decade of Half-Presses

camera taking position right in landscape mode or whatever without me having to like take one of my hands off of the phone and use it to pinch the screen i think zoom is the one that's most likely for me to use but in practice i've never actually used it other than when i was experimenting with it just because i hate going into that mode i can't even decide which one to keep it on i think i settled on keeping it on zoom because it's the one i'm most likely to use but

i would just much rather adjust those things on the screen and i'm with marco like i understand how the ui goes away when you do that or whatever i would just rather always see it like again that should probably be a setting or whatever

But, you know, for taking a photo and for having it as a shutter button, I've heard a lot of people complaining that the positioning is bad, that it should be closer to the corner, and maybe that would have gotten out of my accidental activation area. But I'm mostly happy with the position.

I take pretty much all my pictures in landscape mode, but occasionally in portrait, and I find it works for both of them. I have it launching the camera. I have it launching the camera on a single press. The reason I can get away with it is that when I accidentally activate it,

It's because I'm picking up a locked phone off the table or whatever, and when you hit it on a locked phone, it doesn't launch the camera app. It just wakes it up first, and you have to hit it again to launch the camera app, which is a nice defense against me accidentally launching the camera app.

I'm still accidentally hitting the button a lot, but the consequences are not significant because when I'm doing that, it's almost always when I'm picking up a locked phone, so I don't actually find myself landing in the camera app. Within, I think, maybe... Less than a minute of my wife picking up my phone, she had accidentally taken a picture with the camera control. I should have saved it.

It was like, iPhone unboxing day. Here's our first picture of the floor. It's a thing, right? Again, there's a setting to make the camera control require a double click to get into the camera app. I don't think I need to use that yet. I think I'm building my habits around it, but... I think the camera control was maybe a little bit overly ambitious. As a button, it feels good. It clicks good.

I like the fact that it's touch sensitive. The half press I'm not sold on, the menu interface I'm not sold on, and the upcoming feature that we don't even have yet, the half press for focus or whatever they're going to do. I don't think that's going to make this better. They're piling so much stuff onto this button. This is not like a version 1.0 button.

This is like the version 4.5 of this button already. It does so much stuff. It is so overloaded. It has so many capabilities. And like I said, maybe it's just me, but when you find one of these phones, you can learn how to get into the menus pretty easily, but it's such a strange feeling. It's like, press, but don't press. It's such a delicate operation. It reminds me of like...

Some of the finesse moves I would have to do with a thumb stick in Super Monkey Ball in the GameCube. Like, where you just really have to learn how to, like, what the difference between, you know, 18 and 17 degrees on the stick is, as opposed to just being like, you know, like, jam the stick to the left, right, up, down, right?
