In fact, with this feature, with just a few simple steps through video recording, you can quickly capture a sudden moment.

Step 1: First, what you need to do is access the camera application available on the device and switch to video recording mode.

Step 2: Now, instead of taking a step-by-step photo, you just need to record by lightly touching the red circle button for the application to start recording.
