This is driving me crazy ! My selfie mode keeps doing a countdown when I go to take a picture on my S24! 

It's making me miss really nice moments with my son and it's his 2nd birthday this weekend and I feel like im not going to take any pictures! I've rang Samsung, they did a camera data reset, I've done a software update (which made facebook play up but that's a separate issue) and I've been playing around with my camera today and the timer came on by itself again.

It's fully turned off, so please don't suggest I turn it off, its doing it on its own randomly. 

I can't get an appointment with Samsung for repair for 2 weeks, but I need this resolving by Friday. I only bought the phone for the good camera so the fact is ruining nice pictures at an important time in my family's life is so upsetting. 

Please help.

Night shot is on. This is such an annoying feature. There is a little moon that pops up, if its yellow, its on. Tap it to turn it off.

No it wasn't in night shot, and it was happening all the time, turned out to be an issue with the phone and I had a full refund, went back to using my old S21, not a fan of the newer Samsungs they're just not made as good in my opinion! I had so many issues with the S24 it was an awful phone unfortunately
