   Let's tap "Feature" one time

   The top option is "Quick Snap". The options says: "Double press any of the volume keys while the screen is off to snap a picture. If playing music, these will be used only for volume adjustment." If music is playing, and the screen is off, then double-pressing volume buttons will only decrease or increase the volume. We will not snap a picture. However, if we are not playing music, "Quick Snap" will be activated.
