hold camera button to record a video

Similarly to the way apple does it. Hold the button used to take pictures or videos to start recording a video until the button is pressed.

Hi @Lppsoeht,

Thanks a lot for filing this PR! Could you please describe this feature further? Is it similar to how Google Camera handles long tapping the white circle button in photo mode?

[Lppsoeht]

Yes quite the same approach

[Lppsoeht]

The option to start recording a video and also the ability to zoom by swiping up or down the screen

[MHShetty]

We currently support opening the settings dialog by swiping down, so we might not be able to support zooming by swiping up/down the screen as the two features could clash/hamper the UX

[Lppsoeht]

Swiping a bit up or a bit down to regulate the zoom while holding the takepicture button is not the same gesture as swiping down without holding any button.
The gesture would activate only if holding the button to take the photo or video.

[MHShetty]

Panning/directly using the zoom bar seems to be more convenient and intuitive than tapping the capture button and swiping up/down (which gets close to the efforts needed for panning), this seems too niche when there are already multiple ways to perform zooming.

Also, please file a separate issue while describing a different feature request/issue for us to be able to keep track of the status of all issues correctly

Thank you for your time and support @Lppsoeht!
