The first time we talked about the Nintendo Switch that was when Qualcomm seemed to have plans to produce a console. From that moment we have not heard of this story anymore but today we return to the platform. Specifically we talk about Joy-Con and the possibility of use them as remote control and Android camera shutter. A user on reddit managed to do all this, let's see together how to do it too.
Did you know that it is possible to use the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con as a shutter for the camera of our Android smartphone? that's how
Thanks to a report from 9to5Google, we found that an American user was able to use i Nintendo Switch Joy-Con as a shutter for the camera of an Android smartphone. This function was previously unknown but in a video on the social it was shown that in a very simple way we can do the same thing too. A similar functionality we can have it through one smartband that supports such use, such as the I Band 5 or 6.
As we can see from the video, connecting the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con to an Android smartphone is possible check the camera. But can we replicate this too? Sure, here's how
How to turn the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con into a smartphone camera shutter
First, we will have to long press the "Synchronize"On the Joy-Con in order to pair it with the smartphone by opening the Bluetooth menu and searching for"Joy Con (R)" or "Joy Con (L)". The green lights on the side of the controller must be on to complete the pairing process. Once paired, the "A”Will now act as a bridge to the home screen.
Next, you will need to select the apps by pressing the "Y". If we have only paired one Joy-Con, we will have to adjust the home screen a bit to make it work. The Joy-Con will select the first app on the home screen looking from left to right and from top to bottom. So, if the camera app icon will be positioned in the upper left part of the home screen, pressing the "Y”We will select it.
This can vary depending on the device, so it will be enough to play a little with the Joy-Con of the Nintendo Switch and understand how it is synchronized with our Android smartphone. In the following video by 9to5Google, we learn that the other keys also have a function. In particular "X"and "Y" can be used to zoom. Each click corresponds to a 0.1X zoom increase or decrease (only on Samsung smartphones).
