Most camera apps allow you to trigger the shutter by pressing the volume buttons. The Shutterbug takes advantage of this by sending a remote “volume up” signal to the phone, which then causes the camera to snap a photo.
When no camera app is open, it will increase the volume setting on the phone. However, when a camera app is open, it takes a picture just as though you pressed the volume button.
Not all camera apps have this feature, in which case the Shutterbug won’t work with that app. Some apps allow you to turn volume button shutter release on or off in the settings menu.
