Video Recording Functionality

---

I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to turn off camera functionality of start/finish video recording by touching the screen.

UPDATE: issue resolved by @SRI@, thank you

I run into this problem again and again, but I would hate to revert to an earlier WP7 version because of this (I am running a nice Dynamics HD2O 2.00b WP7.8 8858 ROM on my HTC HD2). So I am wondering if anyone can think of a way to remove this functionality (or allow the screen to be completely turned off while recording video, as this could also save battery charge) by tweaking registry, or an app that does that, etc.

Thank you.

hi,

You can disable this from Settings>applications>Pictures+Camera

That was easy, thank you very much. Strange that you can't do it from within the camera app itself.
