Is that a big upgrade on just using the volume down button for photos?

You can swipe on it to adjust zoom level instead of having to pinch on the screen. Having owned SLRs I think I’ll appreciate the more camera-like affordances.

It’s also supposed to do the half-press to lock focus and exposure, which has been a common feature on cameras for ages. But I think I read this is a “coming later” feature.

There was something else about double tapping to switch modes though I don’t know how that works exactly.

12 mini is so great but I’m going to have to try moving to the pro.
