Galaxy Ring
When I bought the S25 ultra, I knew they had removed the S-Pen functionality (you really **bleep** up, Samsung) to use it as a camera shutter release button but I thought I could live with using my Samsung ring to replace the lost functionality. 

I go to events and take lots of photos. 500 Plus photos is not unusual and I often take a dozen photos of a single subject.

When I first started using my ring to take photos, I immediately noticed a 5+ second delay between the time the camera app is started and the ring will take a photo - no matter how many times I tap my fingers. I can live with this. But taking a second or more delay between the time I tap my fingers and the camera taking the photo, is really get on my nerves. Sometimes I have to tap my fingers six or more times to get it to take a photo. 

In contrast, when I drop back to my S23 ultra (I never trade in my previous phones), using the S-Pen button I can take a dozen photos of a subject in 20-30 seconds, whereas with the ring it's 2-3 minutes or more. When you're having to work around people and trying to grab photos in between moving crowds, every second matters.

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to speed this process up?
