7 . The image capture device of claim 3 , wherein:
the user interaction of the first type with the shutter button that starts the capture of the visual content includes a single-press of the shutter button; and
the user interaction of the second type with the shutter button during the capture of the visual content that cancels the capture of the visual content includes a multi-press of the shutter button.
8 . The image capture device of claim 3 wherein the one or more physical processors are, to cancel the capture of the visual content, further configured by the machine-readable instructions to:
stop the capture of the visual content; and
delete the captured visual content that has been stored in the non-transitory, machine-readable storage media.
9 . The image capture device of claim 3 , wherein responsive to the user interaction of the first type with the shutter button that starts the capture of the visual content being detected when the image capture device is deactivated, the image capture device is activated to start the capture of the visual content.
