Camera

The Camera is an entity and item that is capable of capturing and storing images.

Obtaining
The camera cannot be obtained by crafting or through the creative inventory; it can only be obtained by editing the inventory with third party applications such as PocketInvEditor.

Usage
The camera does not currently function entirely correctly, and still experiences some buggy behaviour. It is possible to use it by either placing it down and tapping the button (currently this does not display any text, but it can be seen above the hotbar), or by tapping in the air near the camera. When placed down and activated, it will start to emit flash and smoke particles, then it will 'explode' and disappear (although it may cause a crash on some devices), then it will drop itself back (however, this does not currently the case due to a bug). Images can be located at:
 * Android:
 * iOS:

Trivia

 * The camera's texture underneath is rotated incorrectly.
 * Cameras take damage like other mobs, because they are entities. They have no 'hurt' animation (they do not flash red). They are affected by knockback.
 * The camera can be held to the mouth (like being eaten) when you stop "eating" it a popping sound is made, like when the camera is activated.

Future
At the Minecraft Pocket Edition panel at MineCon 2012, as well as one of Jbernhardsson's livestreams, it was stated that future plans include trying to have a proper use for cameras, perhaps an easier way to take screenshots and share them with others. In the BlockTalk Q&A, the camera was briefly mentioned as part of a broader "sharing" theme planned for MCPE in the future.
