Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
How-tosTabletiPhone 16 (Pro) Camera Control: How Does it Work?
A separate camera button in a smartphone? What was previously available only on niche devices can now be found across the entire iPhone 16 series in the form of Camera Control. What’s the difference with Apple’s way? The shutter button can not only be pressed but also boasts an integrated capacitive touchpad that allows one to perform swipe gestures. Does it sound complicated? Fret not, you can read how Camera Control works in the new iPhone 16 here.
Camera control, part 1: The hardware
To master Camera Control, you will first need to understand the hardware. First, the button, approximately the width of a finger, can be physically pressed. In addition, the button can also detect the amount of contact pressure and registers a virtual click when a certain amount of pressure is applied. To achieve such a click, you receive feedback via the iPhone‘s vibration motors that approximates the physical feedback of a real button. Hitting the right pressure intensity requires some practice, especially at the beginning.
As mentioned at the beginning, there is also a capacitive touch surface on the top of the button. You can swipe back and forth on it to select various options or precisely adjust certain parameters of the camera app. In summary, there are the following options:
First pressure level: virtual click.
Second pressure level: physical click.
Swipe back and forth.
That brings us to:
Camera control, part 2: The software
A physical click on the camera control performs the obvious: It captures photos. However, you can also use it to launch the camera app and you can do so from any screen, even from the lock screen itself.
The virtual click, on the other hand, activates the currently selected parameter. By default, it would be the zoom. Hence, click the button lightly once before you zoom in and out by swiping on the button.
You can toggle various parameters with a virtual double-click. Double-click to activate the menu and then swipe to switch between the following options: Zoom, Cameras, Aperture, Photographic Styles, Tint, and Exposure Compensation. Simply tap to confirm and then swipe to adjust the selected parameter. The available parameters are identical in every camera mode, from photo to portrait and video.
In the following video, you can see the camera controls in action once again:

What do you think of the new control element in the iPhone 16 series? Is it a stroke of genius from Apple or a redundant gimmick? Will dedicated camera buttons now also become a trend on Android smartphones? I look forward to hearing your opinion!
I have been writing about technology since 2004 with a strong passion for smartphones, photography, and IoT, especially in the world of smart homes and AI ever since they debuted. I'm also an avid cook and bake pizza at least three times a week using my Ooni Koda 16. In order to compensate for all the consumed calories, I indulge in sporting activities on a daily basis while strapping on at least two fitness trackers. I am strongly convinced that you can DIY a lot of things if you put your mind to it - including a photovoltaic system and power station.
