The camera control in Power Apps canvas apps can be very useful, but it isn't immediately obvious how you can capture photos using a secondary control like another button, or maybe even a timer.

In this video we review how to go about setting up your camera control to be able to use another control to capture an image without having to interact with the camera control directly. This can make your apps more intuitive for the end-user, and more visually consistent with other camera apps they use.
