What Is the Capture Button?
The iPhone 16 Capture Button, also known as the Camera Control Button, is a specialized feature designed for seamless photography and camera operation. Located on the right side of the device, this button offers a tactile experience similar to that of professional DSLR cameras.
Thanks to its built-in tactile switch with haptic feedback, the Capture Button mimics the sensation of a physical click, enhancing user interaction. It also features capacitive touch sensing for gestures and a force sensor to differentiate between light and firm presses, making it versatile and intuitive for various camera functions.
How Does the Capture Button Work?
Quick Access to the Camera
With a single press of the Capture Button, the iPhone’s Camera app launches instantly, ensuring you're always ready to capture the moment.
Effortless Photo Capture
A simple click of the Capture Button snaps a photo, replicating the tactile sensation of a traditional camera.
Smooth Video Recording
For QuickTake videos, simply press and hold the button while in Photo mode—no need to switch modes. If you're already in Video mode, a single press will start recording.
Intuitive Zoom Controls
Zooming has never been easier. Swipe left or right on the Capture Button to zoom in or out while framing your shot or recording video.
Settings at Your Fingertips
A light double-tap on the Capture Button brings up an on-screen menu overlay.
Customize the Capture Button
The Camera Control feature on the iPhone 16 is highly versatile, offering options to launch compatible third-party apps like Halide Camera or Snapchat, use Apple’s Magnifier tool, access the built-in QR code scanner, or simply keep it disabled. To customize this functionality, navigate to Settings > Camera > Camera Control. From there, select your preferred action: Camera, Code Scanner, Magnifier, or None.
You can also modify how the capture button operates. Choose between a single-click or double-click action to open the default camera app. To do this, go to Settings > Camera > Camera Control and set the click preference under the respective options.
Fine-Tune Camera Control with Accessibility Settings
For more granular adjustments, head over to Settings > Accessibility > Camera Control. Here, you’ll find settings to refine the amount of force needed for light and hard presses:
- Light Press Sensitivity: Choose how much pressure is required for a light press to register. Test the setting directly within this menu.
- Double Light-Press Speed: Adjust the time window for registering double presses by moving the slider left or right.
If you prefer not to use certain gestures, such as light press adjustments, you can disable them by toggling off Show Adjustments. Additionally, if you find Camera Control interfering with other app gestures, you have the option to turn it off completely by switching off Camera Control in the settings.
