My Xiaomi Mi 4i on normal mode snaps the shot when you touch the button.
I discovered this accidentally by taking a series of 12 shots, expecting the normal Android screen freeze and thinking "damn, the camera app is broken", then noticing that the "gallery" kept changing slightly.
This is a lot of fun with Google Photos as once the photos auto-upload, Google will usually stitch them together into a sort of gif (could be a gif for all I know, I never checked the file type). So you can still have a "movie" even in occasions where you don't have time to get the camera out and switch it to movie mode.
