Hello Don,
Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.
We all love taking photos and we’ll be happy to help out today.
From what you are describing, it sounds like the QuickTake feature. To learn more about this feature and how it gets activated go to Use QuickTake to capture video while taking photos.
Reach back out if you have questions.
Take care!

Thanks. You’re probably right. This is happening to my wife. Camera routinely doesn’t respond to her touch so she’ll long hold the shutter button in an effort to get the picture. She didn’t trigger the Quick Take feature with her X but it happens constantly with her new 12Max.
You are welcome! And you're right, she didn't see this with iPhone X, that iPhone was released in 2017. The QuickTake feature didn't come out until iOS 13 was released in 2019.
Let us know if we can help further.
Have a great day!
