I did use ice packs just in honor of Marco. I used them briefly, but then I got worried about condensation and stopped.

It does. Very much so.

I said this before any of us had ever tried it. Remember by seeing the demos, I'm like, that's modal. How are you going to get out of that mode? And trying it for real life, I experienced the exact same thing. The exact problem I predicted. I'm like, I'm having that problem. I eventually figured it out, but it's... Not great.

All right. So here's my experience with the camera control. The very first thing that I discovered with my new phone with the camera control is that the camera control is placed exactly where I apparently grabbed my phone. Exactly. I've done this a couple of times. Like with it taking it out of the box. I kid you not. It's the phone is not even on. I've just taken it out of the box.

I accidentally hit the camera control button three times in under 20 seconds. It's not even on. Like, the phone's not even on. I'm hitting the button, which, by the way... With what part of your hand? Are you hitting it with, like, your, like... That's apparently where I grab the phone.

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.
