Tap on the camera symbol under-- facility!-- with the blue emphasize. Currently your camera will certainly activate as well as you'll see a sneak peek of the image you will take:
To take an image, tap on the blue switch. To make a (brief) video, faucet on the video camera symbol to the right of the button.
