Touch Camera – take pictures using iPhone buttons

Camera Touch is a new tweak from Cydia that allows us to set certain iPhone buttons to take pictures or record videos using the Camera application. The tweak gives us the option to use the volume buttons to take pictures or record a video and with a shake we can switch from video mode to "camera" mode. Besides these options, there is another one that allows us to open the camera application directly from the lockscreen using the device's volume buttons.

Here are the functions of Camera Touch:

  • Take Photo: Switches to photo mode if not already in photo mode and takes a picture.
  • Take Video: Switches to video mode if not already in video mode and begins recording.
  • Take Photo/Video: Snaps a photo or starts video recording depending on which mode the camera is currently in.
  • Toggle Flash: Switches Flash between Off, Auto, and On modes for compatible devices.
  • Toggle HDR: Switches HDR mode On and Off for compatible devices.
  • Toggle Camera: Switches between the front and back cameras for compatible devices.

The tweak is available in Cydia for $0.99.
