N97 disable off auto start on camera

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to stop the camera from automatically starting the picture app when you move the slider. I've found it to be a great way to crash my N97 when running another app!! That or stop the N97 from taking any pics until it gets reset. 

 

If the camera is out the image mode can be easily started by pressing the shoot image button anyway so it might as well be disabled.

 

Ideas on disabling the app's autostart?

I cant find the solution in software. But i think it will be possible if you remove the magnet in the camera cover. Or the simplest way is, don't close the camera cover. It will make stracth in your camera anyway.

Humm yea i suppose leaving the camera perpetually open would have to be the solution. I havn't got any hints of scratches on my lens yet although this is after just over a week of use. Previous phones i've had havn't had a lens anyway. Just suppose a bit of cleaning every now and then will be needed!
