I also agree with using hardware volume control buttons - one for
autofocus, another for shooting.

Title:
  Add alternative shutter methods

Status in camera-app:
  Confirmed
Status in camera-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Feature request:

  Problem:
  On a large phone like the MX4 it is very difficult to use the camera app with one hand because when you first set the focus point,  then it is usually impossible to reach the shutter icon without moving the phone.

  Possible solutions:
  - When setting the focus point, directly take an image when it is focused. This could be an option or gesture based (e.g. double tap on screen). 
  - use one of the hardware buttons as shutter button. E.g. volume control.
