Suddenly can't take Burst photos on my current iOS iPhone 13

I've taken a few Burst photos before, I think by just holding down the Shutter icon as long as I wanted to.

That no longer works.

I read everywhere, like at to just somehow drag the Shutter icon left instead of holding it down to Burst. But mine can't be dragged and by attempting to take a Burst that way, it seems to be taking a Video even though it was set on Photo.

The new image in Photos has a number in the corner denoting how many seconds it is. There's no way that I've been able to find to select an image as Favorite so that I can save only that one like I used to do all the time to save iCloud storage space.

HELP please!

Just found it on my own in Settings. I must have known how to do Burst photos before but now, despite what some site says about sliding the shutter button icon to the left to do a Burst.

In my Settings > Camera, I found it OFF on Use Volume Up For Burst.

I sure wish somebody had felt generous enough to type a sentence & tell me.

Oh well. 🙄

Perhaps I'm blacklisted here as a Don't Help Him idiot?
