Taking photos
The camera app can vary quite a bit from device to device. Not to worry—the interface should still be fairly intuitive. If you have questions about how your particular camera works, try checking your manual or your manufacturer's website.
To take a photo:
- Open your device's Camera app.
- The camera view should appear.
- If the picture is blurry, try tapping your subject to refocus.
- To take a picture, tap the camera button.
Many devices give you the option to launch the camera directly from your lock screen. To see if your device has this feature, look for an icon like the example below.
