Hey,

I'd like to be able to allow a user to take a photo using a button, as it's not immediately obvious to a new user that to take the picture you click on the image.

I figured that when you click on the camera control, you're actually selecting it, so Select(Camera1) should have the same effect as clicking on the camera control, but it doesn't.

Can I take a photo using a button?

thanks,

Martin

Hi @Martin_W ,

You could try:

1\Set the camera control's StreamRate property to:

500

2\Add a button and set it's OnSelect property to

Collect(Photos,{PhotoContent:Camera1.Stream})

Click the button and then the photo will be save into the collection 'Photos'.

Best Regards,
Bof
