How do you take a selfie without pressing the button?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

To take a selfie without pressing the button, you can use the “Show palm” feature on your smartphone’s camera app. I’ll provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to set up this feature.

1. Open the Camera app on your smartphone.
2. Look for the Settings button, usually located in the top-left corner of the viewfinder. Tap on it to access the camera settings.
3. Within the camera settings, you may need to navigate through different options to find the one related to shooting methods or gestures. The exact location of this option may vary depending on your device and camera app version.
4. Once you find the shooting methods or gestures option, tap on it to open the submenu.
5. Look for the “Show palm” option and toggle it on. This feature allows you to take a selfie by showing your palm to the camera.
6. After enabling the “Show palm” feature, exit the camera settings by tapping on the back button or any other relevant option to save the changes.

Now that you have set up the “Show palm” feature, you can easily take selfies without pressing the shutter button. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open the Camera app.
2. Switch to the front-facing camera by tapping on the camera switch icon, usually located in the top-right corner of the viewfinder.
3. Position yourself for the selfie and extend your arm to hold the phone at a comfortable distance.
4. Instead of pressing the shutter button, simply show your palm to the camera. The camera app should recognize the gesture and capture the photo automatically.
5. You can review the selfie you just took and retake it if needed.

Using this method, you can capture selfies without the need to press the physical or virtual shutter button, making it more convenient and avoiding any accidental camera shake.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you take selfies without pressing the button. Enjoy capturing those perfect shots effortlessly!
