Necropost, but this is a top match when searching issue using google, so replying for others who reach this page the same way.
Same issue occurs with my V20. I think it's ridiculous that touching down vol bypasses lock screen to turn on camera and developers gave NO option to change / disable!
Anyway, got google camera and set vol keys to be vol keys. (Side benefit: no rapid fire photos just cuz I touch them when turning phone sideways.)
Then, turned OFF Camera permission for native camera app! So now if I accidentally touch vol down grabbing my phone or taking out of pocket, the f***ing camera CAN'T start! Just get a warning message instead.
