The button is placed along the side panels, and can be used as a shutter button as well as to bring up adjustable camera functions. Camera Control is where you can access Visual Intelligence, an AI-assisted feature that works similar to Circle to Search, except you only need to click on the Camera Control button for immediate search results.
