How to quickly launch the Galaxy S8 camera with the power button.
The Galaxy S8's camera shortcut has moved from the home button to the power button. Here's how it works.

By default, The Galaxy S8 will launch the camera app if you double press the Power button. You can choose whether to Turn Off or Keep On the first time you use this shortcut.
But let's say that, perhaps, you were too quick to dismiss the helpful shortcut feature at the beginning. The good news is that you can go into the phone's settings panel to turn it back on.
