“Snap! You Can Now Take Pictures With Your Headphones Too”
Taking a picture in iOS 5 is as easy as pressing the Volume Up button on the handset as well as doing the same on your iPhone headphones.
I haven’t tested it, but it makes sense. And it’s really cool — not just for discreetly taking pictures of little kids outside their school. I tried taking pictures with the iPhone’s volume button, and the button is so hard (which is a good thing when it’s used as a volume button) that it seems impossible not to cause the device to move as you’re triggering the shutter. And that’s exactly the opposite of what’s needed to make good pictures.
With the headphones as a remote, though: no such problem at all. It’s gonna be a little awkward having one hand holding the phone and one using the remote, but much better than the (lack of) alternative.
