How to use Android: Take a Photo or Video

Most High End Phones has a both a main and a front-facing camera, but the process is virtually the same with all Android phones. Some, though, have a dedicated camera button which launches the app and can be used to take photos or videos. If there's no such button, such as on the Moto G, touch the camera icon at the bottom-right corner of the home screen. The screen will show a preview and tapping anywhere on the screen will take a photo. Alternatively, to capture a video, touch the video camera icon at the bottom right. Recording will start and a timer will appear at the top left. To stop recording press the icon at the bottom right that will have changed to a square in a circle. To see your photos and videos while in the camera app, touch the right hand edge of the screen and drag to the left. Swipe left and right to move between your photos and/or videos, touching a video if you want to play it. The camera also has various options that you can select by dragging right from the left hand edge of the screen. We’ll leave you to try these out. You can view your photos later using the Gallery app.
