Your device’s built-in camera gives you the ability to take full-color digital pictures, view your pictures using the device’s display, and instantly send them to family and friends. It’s fun, and it’s as easy to use as a traditional point-and-click camera: just take a picture, view it on your device’s display, and send it from your device to up to 10 people.
