The camera button is on all the 16 models from what I understand. So, new as of this year. Audio Ducking now has three settings: off, always, or while speaking. When set to always or while speaking it lowers the volume of media/audioBooks, etc., to make it easier to hear VO. The new relationship between volume and audio ducking is that if audio ducking is on, then you can set the volume above 100%. However much above 100% you set the volume, the other media will be lowered proportionally. You can set the volume up to 199% at which the other media is almost silent. HTH,
