Nintendo Switch has been with us for a few years and there are those who have managed to find a new use for the Joy-Con of the Nintendo console, since the controllers can be used as remote triggers for the camera of an Android mobile phone .
So said, you may be wondering how it is possible, but the truth is that the trick is very simple and it will only take you a moment to configure the Joy-Con to be able to use it with the camera of your device. This is a good way if you want to take a photo from a distance, placing the device where you want and without the need to activate the countdown.
How to use the Joy-Con with the camera on Android
The steps to follow are so simple that you will not need to install any specific application or make any changes to the configuration of your mobile. All you have to do is do all of the following and in a minute you will have your Joy-Con ready for action:
- The first thing is that you go to the Settings and select Bluetooth after activating it to locate your Joy-Con.
- To do this you must take your Joy-Con, the right one for example, and hold down the sync button. It is located on one of the sides with a very small button.
- At that moment, green lights will start to flash and then “Joy-Con (L)” or “Joy-Con (R)” will appear depending on which one you have chosen.
- After selecting the Joy-Con, the lights will continue to flash, but you will have it ready for its corresponding use.
- Next you have to open the camera and just by pressing the A button you will take a photo instantly.
- Another option is that on the screen of your mobile you place the camera application in the upper left corner, so that in this way, if you press the A button, it opens it.
As you can see, the method is very simple and you will only have to reconnect the Joy-Con to your Nintendo Switch to synchronize with it or follow the steps indicated again in case you want to use it at some other time as a remote trigger.
