Suggestion - Burst shutter on volume button long press ?

One thing im struggling with is taking selfie burst mode while running. 

 

On my previous s10+ you could just hold the shutter button for burst mode on any camera, or, hold volume up or down for the same thing. 

 

Ive noticed on the s20ultra, the single press volume buttons still seem to take single shots, but burst mode is confined to a drag down motion on the onscreen shutter button. Works fine for rear camera shots or steady selfie shots, but as you can imagine, trying to do this while running across fields is a little awkward and im finding I need double jointed fingers! 

 

The volume button method was great to allow for some stability in the hand as I could grip the phone securely. 

 

Ive made the suggestion to samsung so hopefully if enough people have the same experience i should think they could update this in a furture software update. fingers crossed (or dislocated... as mine are fast becoming)

Thank you for giving back this feature! It's really great to have it back, and it also feels great that we can see you are truly listening to what we need. 

 

A happy again s10 owner.

... not for the S20 ultra... Then again, they never had that option. I'm finding more that I just don't bother taking burst pictures anymore.. too much of a pain in the back side. I'm even shocked to admit that I've considered downgrading to an s10 plus again. Better camera by far, better fisheye, better button placement, better camera controls, etc etc ...

The volume button works to take pictures, it doesn't work for photo burst.

They've just added volume key burst mode to the S20 as of the latest update as well

I'm so happy... Agreed, the latest update allows this to happen. Kinda suggests the Samsung person that told me this wasn't a feature because it was technically not possible either didn't know what there were talking about or were just lying. 

 

Anyway.. happy happy 😄
