Camera buttons still too hard to hit
complete

Camera buttons, ever since the camera has been introduced, are still kinda hard to hit most of the time. This was even something that was admitted in the patch notes well over a year ago, would be nice for the camera to get a bit of an update, especially so the camera lens isn't inside the screen instead of above it, really makes it hard to see sometimes when you just wanna pull it out to act as a selfie mirror.

Seing this marked as complete while only a lock button was added and the buttons are still almost impossible to select makes us sad. We had these cannys since almost two years marked as "under review" and adding a lock button didn't solve the issue this canny is about (read the title of the canny please, it's not about a lock button).
I re-opened it here now:

With the newly added lock feature, this should now be much easier

Index controllers camera is very hard to use

It's extremely hard to try to press a button on the camera because when you hover your hand on a button the entire camera is selected and you cannot use the selfie stick.

It's not just Index controllers, the camera buttons have been really bad since their inception. The whole camera system could use an update.

isn't it the same with every other controller? I was using both vive and index and camera is horrible for both of them. The button selecting seems like some randomized function and you need to find that random rotation of hand where it works. Like moving hand down to select button above. 10/10

GotoFinal: Same with Rift. It works better if your avatar is roughly 5-6 feet. Anything shorter or larger and it has more issues. :p

GotoFinal: yep, my experience too, both with Vive and Index, feels like the buttons have a hitbox of like 5x5 pixel or something

This problem is known for months. I saw many months ago the camera problems and need some re-design controls because it's not good. I discovered also why it's so bad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGgzoOQxVvs&t=1s made video for it what happened and how to deal with it.
The only answer i have (from other threads here long time posted ago) they will look someday at it, but it's not planned as important problem. But they are aware of camera control problems, but it's not placed above in the queue list.
The lens is indeed bit annoying but it showed where camera exactly is. Though it should have more transparency... its indeed bit harder to look at screen. Lucky you can change mode to seperate the lens.
I think it will take many months before they finally re-design the camera.

hate that icon in center of camera its like covering 1/4 of camera screen

This is directly correlated to your IPD and the "world scale". I'm 1.95 meters tall, and if I use an avatar that's my real height, I am
literally
unable to press the buttons. It's like they only tested the buttons on smaller avatars.BorkBork~
Add a zoom function too, but yeah trying to push the buttons is infuriating. And the lens in the middle is a pain too. So hard to push the delayed photo button, usually can't get back to group to pose properly in the few seconds it gives. Would like a longer delay option.
