I like I found this quick fix with the button combination because usually I keep the camera in a silicon cover. If you are underwater again is a good thing, because you can’t remove the battery…

Last time I got this issue exactly when I was prepared to make my first parasailing on the boat on a beautiful island in Greece, black ball for GoPRO.

I tried to make a full reset for the phone but with no results. I locked the camera app in background but also any results. Also, it is very important the location where the images are saved.

In conclusion, the best solution to make the camera of your Huawei P9 Lite faster is to choose to save images/ videos on the internal memory.

To do that, open Camera App from your phone, slide to left, and unchecked Priority save in SD card.
