On my Galaxy S8+, I could double-press on the power button from anywhere (even whilst locked).
Is something similar possible on the P30 Pro?
Double press volume down can be set to take a photo or launch the camera app, but only when the screen is off, so its a little different, and you still need a real shortcut if you want to start if the display is on.

We all know about the issues with the camera - especially in dark areas, it simply jerks and blurs and you cant see what is happening on screen.
Here is a workaround that i have found which enables fluid motion on the lcd for taking photos and videos on my Tytn 2 (Stock rom).
Steps:
1) Press the camera button to launch the camera application.
2) When it loads up and is on screen, press the power button to turn off the display.
3) Wait 15 seconds.
4) Press the power button to turn on the display.
5) The camera/video recording should be smooth, even in dark areas.
This works for me every time. However sometimes it is shortlived (about a minute). As soon as you exit the camera application you will have to perform the above steps again.
I have recorded a 12 minute video in a dark area and it was very smooth. I have tested with HTC camera v4.0.8 and v5.0.4.2915.00 available here http://rs331.rapidshare.com/files/85747451/Nadavi_HTC_Camera_5_0_4_2915_00.cab

Apologies for the dupe.
Hello,
Is it possible to run the camera in the background and record video and turn off the screen while the video is recording?
Or does somebody know an application which can do it?
Thanks
The problem is that when you press the power button it suspends device and doesn't just turn off the screen. There are utilities that can just turn off the screen (which also "locks" the device). I use WKtasks function>Backlight off from ok-button long press and AEBPlus actions screen to do that
Thanks for the tip. I've tried these 2 applications, but they both don't turn off the display when recording. I have also tried to use CoolCamera, but it does'nt work.
I would love to know a solution for this also i use the Qik app and would love if it would run with the screen toggled off or even better in the background.
When I launch the camera, the screen must turn on.
When I press the power off function, the screen is truned off but I can't take a photo.
Any software to soft this problem?
Thank you!

I've tried these 2 applications, but they both don't turn off the display when recording or shooting.
Out of curiosity, why would you want the screen off anyway? Surely that means you'd have no idea what you're taking a picture of?
In fact, I am a detector. I always need to spy on someone and take photo secretly.
This is driving me crazy!
I've set the Z3 Compact to tap to wake - a feature I like very much - but I'll often pull out the phone to see that it's taken loads of pictures of my pocket. And my pocket really isn't that interesting.
I've tried changing the password from a pattern to a PIN thinking that maybe I was somehow unlocking it that way, but I figure I must somehow be knocking the camera icon on the lock screen and it seems the only way I can remove that from the lock screen also stops the physical button working too.
So has anyone any ideas on how can I fix this and (a) keep the physical camera button working and (b) keep using tap to lock? Thanks.
Are you locking the phine pefore putting it in your pocket or just letting it sleep?
I had mine set to lock 30 seconds after pressing the side button to sleep it and was ending up with pocket texting and calls and pictures. Set it to lock instantly with button press and have not had any issues. Maintained 30 seconds after sleep for regylar locking.

You are probably hitting the dedicated camera button on something. A full depression will wake the phone and the next one will take a picture. Doesn't matter if the phone is locked etc.
try to disable the dedicate button for camera.. in camera options
As suggested here deactivate waking up the camera with the dedicated camera button. I had that problem to until i deactivated that.

Guys, I am new to Samsung phones and I need an answer to a question regarding smart view. When mirroring content from my S10 to my TV, after a few seconds the display on my S10 turns dark and then I get something like an AOD appear on the screen till I press the power key. Is there a way of disabling it, as it just stays in the same position on my S10 display??
Anyone have any ideas?
