Hi guys,
I have read almost all of the post regarding underwater photography with the Z3 (Z2 , Z1 ...).
However there is one thing that I'm not able to figure out or find how to do it, and that is how to start and stop video recording with the hardware buttons while in the camera ? In the camera settings there is an option to use the volume keys as a shutter, but the only thing that this does is to take a Photo with both volume up and down buttons.
So if anyone knows how can i take Photos with the shutter and start Videos with some other hardware button without having to switch modes, please share how it's done.
Thanks in advance

Camera shutter, media button and volume keys (zoom) stopped working. Recently flashed chronos brianlee version. Camera app opens from app folder but cannot take a picture or video. All suggestions are welcome.
Thank you
Do they work in openrecovery (to rule out hardware failure)?
Thank you for replying.
Yes. They do work in Open recovery.
When I hold down the shutter key to take a picture, it just tries to focus, a green box comes on, but does not complete the action. Oddly, the same result when holding either media or volume up, volume down keys.

I'm wondering if it's possible to map the camera shutter to a physical button. I had this on my Nexus One and it was awesome.
In the mean time you could use smile detection if its for self shots haha..

What camera button?!
If you use the long button on the RHS of the phone, your wishes will be granted...
The volume rocker doesn't work, but the smile feature does.
I've bought this wireless selfie shutter, but you have to download some other camera app to have it make pictures.
I'd like to just use the native camera app.
Plus I would like to use the IOS camera button as a video record button. I've actually managed to do it by downloading this app that will start recording in the app when you press the volume button 2 times up (what the IOS button actually does when I press it).
But once again I'd like to have it start recording in the native camera app.
I didn't really seen other apps what could like change the buttons or just do something else what I'd like to do. I'd like it to do the same as the Dimple.IO NFC buttons if you know what I mean.
Thanks!
Never mind! The one button can just take a selfie and I've changed the setting in the native camera app that it starts a video when you press a volume button
A mod can delete this thread, or if someone else maybe didn't knew this they can use my information
Hi folks,
does anybody know if the delay of the camera button on our Z3 is adjustable (how long you have to hold it till the camera App opens)? It's a bit long for me..
Thanks

Is there anyway to set up a phone so you can press a button on a bluetooth remote and trigger the phone to open the camera and immediately start recording video?
Because there is a significant delay between seeing an event unfold that you want to capture and taking your phone out of your pocket, unlocking the screen, opening the camera, switching to video mode and pressing record. It would be very useful to be able to press a button which could be clipped to your waist or worn on a lanyard, whip your phone out and just point it at the action. You would catch a few more seconds of the start.
Get a special dongle that can do this. I use a selfi stick that does what you describe.
