This pulls a wheel with commonly used settings like HDR and flash mode, stills and video resolution, panorama, the lot. There is, after all, a settings menu, evoked with a swipe in from the left.
It can apparently shoot indefinitely too, provided you have the storage. Long pressing on the other hand activates the burst mode - it took roughly 115 full-res shots in 30 seconds, resulting in an impressive frame rate of nearly 4fps. Dragging upwards zooms in (digitally, of course), dragging down zooms out, simple as that. There's no shutter button, you tap anywhere on the screen to take a shot. The camera app is a decidedly minimalist affair with nothing but a video capture button and a rear/front camera toggle.
A second double twist now switches between rear and front camera. It works while the device is locked, but can also fire up the camera from the homescreen or when you're inside other apps - basically a universal camera shortcut. You can launch the camera with a natural twisting movement from your wrist. There's a dual-tone flash, which should supposedly adjust the color of the flash light to produce more natural results. A 21MP Sony sensor sits behind an f/2.0 lens, and there's phase detection autofocus. The Moto X Play comes with the same camera setup as the top-end Moto X Style.
