Camera

The Camera is a Pocket Edition exclusive item and entity. The Camera had many bugs and could not be obtained in-game without inventory editing. It was removed in 0.9 but re-added in 0.14 with a different ID.

Obtaining
The camera in 0.14 can only be obtained from inventory editing, either manually editing the inventory or using the tool PocketInvEditor.

Usage
To use a camera, equip it in your hand, then look in the direction you want the picture to be taken. Long-press the screen, and a camera will drop to the ground where you are standing. Step back, then press on the camera until it starts emitting smoke particles. The smoke means a picture has been taken, and the camera may disappear immediately afterwards. Cameras have infinite uses.

The location of taken pictures depends on the device, either Android or iOS.

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.

The camera was later stated to be potentially returning to be able to share photos from a potential Oculus Rift MCPE version.

The camera is touted as a feature in the upcoming Education edition. . It was later readded to Pocket Edition in 0.14.

Trivia

 * When placed, the camera can be attacked once, although in doing so the player will receive knockback and the camera will play the standard player damage sound.
 * It is possible to take a picture of the menu screen by going back to the menu before the camera disappears.
