iPhone 11pro Live Photo won’t turn off

Why does my phone insist on taking live video pictures when I have cancelled live and just want a picture NOT a video ?

Use Camera settings on iPhone - Apple Support


Preserve camera settings

You can preserve the last camera mode, filter, lighting, depth, and Live Photo settings you used so they’re not reset when you next open Camera.

  1. Go to Settings  > Camera > Preserve Settings.
  2. Turn on any of the following:
    • Camera Mode: Preserve the last camera mode you used, such as Video or Pano.
    • Creative Controls: Preserve the last filter, lighting option (on supported models), or depth setting (on supported models) you used.
    • Exposure Adjustment: Preserve the exposure control setting (on supported models).
    • Live Photo: Preserve the Live Photo setting.
