iPhone SE camera auto switches from photo to video

Hello. When I press the button to take a photo in the camera app, anything except an extremely swift tap will cause the phone to automatically switch to recording a video. This has resulted in about half of my photos being one second videos during a round of taking some photos. I turned off Live Mode as older support questions suggested. This does not change this behavior. If this is a feature, it is extremely annoying, given that the video mode is right there and easy to switch to as desired. Can I turn this behavior off? If not, would you please consider creating a way to turn this off in a future update? Best, J
