Revision history [back]

Like the old N900, the Xperia has a "real" two-stage shutter release button (light press starts autofocus and locks it once it has focus, full press releases the shutter), but the volume-controls buttons also take a picture. This may be handy for users which don't know the device to well, but for me it would be more suitable to put dedicated function on the volume buttons when using the camera app. Some people may prefer a zoom function like on the N900 (I don't need this), I would prefer something like exposure compensation.

Please make the volume-control buttons configurable in the camera app on the Xperia.
