}}</ref> When pressed, the [[Shutter (photography)|shutter]] of the camera is "released", so that it opens to capture a picture, and then closes, allowing an exposure time as determined by the [[shutter speed]] setting (which may be automatic). Some cameras also utilize an electronic shutter, as opposed to a mechanical shutter. <br />
<br />
The shutter-release button is one of the most basic features of a dedicated handheld camera. Mobile devices such as modern [[smartphone]]s have a [[touchscreen]] button for capturing photos, but also have a physical shutter button as well, as the sound volume buttons are used as such, with exception of some phones having a dedicated shutter button. <br />
<br />
The term "release" comes from old mechanical shutters that were "cocked" or "tensioned" by one lever, and then "released" by another.<ref><br />
