Tap to hide the interface
With Tap Action ON, a tap on the picture hides every control: telemetry, rails, the Assist Line, the storage and battery indicators, the timer and the Record button. The picture and the focus reticle stay. A tap anywhere brings the controls back. Hiding works during a take, but the Record button hides too, so bring the controls back before stopping. Tap-to-focus is unavailable while Tap Action is ON. This applies on iPhone; the iPad layout keeps its controls.
