turn off quicktake

Thank you for your answer, Giulio. No trouble understanding how it works. The point is more that it doesn’t work well for people (like my father in law) who aren’t really good at learning detailed gestures (eg hold and flick left to to this, slide right to do that). Some people just want the camera to work simply in the way they expect.

You are correct, though, in that this is more a comment directed at Apple than a question to other users. I imagine that a lot of people will be feeling the same. Thank you for the link to give feedback directly to Apple.
