Title: camera app?
Post by: greybeard on July 28, 2012, 10:26:17 PM

I'm new as can be with this tablet.  My first!  That being said,  I'm confused about "apps."  To use the camera, is there a APP for it that I need to download, or is there a program somewhere in the Nexux 7?  I'm lost  -  -  -

This will work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modaco.cameralauncher

Or it will work on apps like Skype, etc.

I use the Modaco camera app.  Works fine, but shows the limitations of the 1.3 MP front camera.  It's hard to frame photos, and the digital zoom is useless.

I also am confused about the camera.  Can you take photos with the camera in the N7?  If so, how do you do that?

Yes, you can take pictures with your N7's camera.  Download the Modaco camera app, and open it.  When you do, you'll see the picture looking through your camera's lens, along with still or video options, a zoom button, a settings choice that lets you choose color or black and white, adjust white balance, etc.  There's a blue button to snap the photo with.
