The TechRadar article, likely published in late 2025 given the introduction of new iPhone camera features, outlines six effective ways iPhone users can leverage their device's physical buttons for advanced camera control, moving beyond the simple act of taking a picture. These methods significantly enhance usability and creative control. Users can initiate and stop video recordings by pressing either volume button, a quick and intuitive method for capturing dynamic moments. For newer iPhone models (XS and later), pressing and holding a volume button in Photo mode can instantly record a QuickTake video, allowing for seamless transitions between still photos and video capture. Older iPhone models, or newer ones with a specific setting enabled, can use the volume buttons to take a rapid series of burst photos, ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects. Furthermore, standard wired or wireless headphones can double as a remote shutter, enabling users to take photos or start videos from a distance, which is particularly useful for group shots or stabilizing the phone. On the latest iPhone 16 and subsequent models, a dedicated 'Camera Control' button allows for instantaneous launching of the camera app. This new button also facilitates access to and adjustment of specific camera settings, such as exposure and zoom, by lightly pressing it twice. These functionalities demonstrate how Apple has integrated physical controls to offer a more tactile and versatile photography experience for its users.
