A single user input element in an image capture device is used for both image and video capture, based on detecting a state change of the single user input element from a first state to a second state based on a detected user activity, and determining a duration of the second state. A first distinct signal indicating that an image capture is triggered is provided based on the duration of the second state being less than a time interval and a second distinct signal indicating that a video recording is triggered is provided based on the duration of the second state being greater than the time interval. The video recording is captured until a state change of the single user input element from the second state to the first state is detected.
