The process involves disabling a setting on Android devices that captures a short video clip along with a still image when a photo is taken. This functionality, often enabled by default, records a few seconds before and after the shutter button is pressed, creating a moving picture effect. Disabling it results in the device capturing only a static image.
Deactivating this feature can conserve storage space, as the recorded video clips consume more memory than standard photographs. It can also improve battery life by reducing the processing power required for each shot. Moreover, opting for static images offers greater control over the final result, preventing unexpected or unwanted motion from being captured.
