I double press on/off button to activate camera and use volume down to take picture.

Every second or third time I hold the button a bit longer by mistake and now the camera make a 640x480 gif file. How idiotic is this? It is destroying half my photos.

There is no setting to turn it off. You can only change the vol button to zoom, and then you need to use the screen which is not the point.

Have you tried on your phone, just keep the volume down  button pressed while taking a photo, i think you will get the same problem

It only takes a single tap to activate the shutter function, so there's no need to press longer than that.

Well, as I wrote it is a mistake but it is a very short time before it make a gif, so it happens often, and i want to turn the feature off.
