With a lot more and a lot more powerful cameras with professional features pertaining to modern phones, users now rely a lot more than ever their smartphone’s video camera for capturing their moments into pictures. We carry our mobiles phones wherever we go. As it accompanies us all the time, it turns into the only gadget that we use for various purposes and taking pictures is one such job.
If you start trying to find an Android phone with a video camera button, you would hardly find any. If you own an Android device with Android 4.04 ICS or below, you need to unlock your device and launch the video camera app before you can take a shot. It was later that Google added option to put video camera shortcut on the lockscreen so that we can launch video camera quickly.
Actually, I see no problem with the few seconds that are lost in opening the video camera user interface but there are some moments that do not allow you those few seconds to open video camera and click the on-screen video camera button. If you have such quick moments in your life and feel that you missed some video camera shots that you could have captured if you could access the device video camera faster, Shoot It has now come to help you!
