Usage
Template:Control a camera from one's Minecraft:inventory captures a first-person screenshot. When having Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals enabled while taking a screenshot, all blocks are invisible and only the skybox, particles, and some miscellaneous objects are visible. It may also be placed, creating a camera Minecraft:entity that can track the user, and take pictures from the camera's perspective. Photos that are taken with the camera appear in the Minecraft:portfolio.Template:Only

Screenshots from a camera can be inserted into a Minecraft:book and quill.<ref name="screenshot-edu"/>Template:Only
Photos that are taken with the camera block are stored in Template:Cd.
Behavior
Cameras are mostly inanimate Minecraft:entities, but they occasionally move when falling and they move at the Minecraft:player's direction when they take a picture.
Cameras are classified as Minecraft:mobs in the game code, they obey gravity, allowing them to fall and having effects common to all other Minecraft:entities. Cameras can be affected by Minecraft:status effects. They can be killed by Minecraft:Harming and Minecraft:Decay splash/lingering potions, and they play the player death sound and fall to their side and disappear, dropping no item. Cameras can't be Minecraft:leashed but they can ride on Minecraft:boats and Minecraft:minecarts.
Cameras are harmed by Minecraft:fire, Minecraft:lava, and Minecraft:campfire damage but they never die from it. Cameras can be destroyed by any Minecraft:projectile used by the player, such as Minecraft:arrows, Minecraft:tridents, or Minecraft:snowballs. Cameras never drown and are invulnerable to the Minecraft:void, Minecraft:cacti, Minecraft:falling blocks, to Minecraft:explosions or by Minecraft:firework rockets.
Minecraft:Wardens, Minecraft:withers, Minecraft:zoglins, Minecraft:goats, and Minecraft:vindicators named Johnny attack cameras, but the camera remains undamaged; Minecraft:pufferfish also inflate when a camera is nearby. Minecraft:Foxes don't sleep near cameras as well.

Future
At the Minecraft Minecraft:Pocket Edition panel at Minecraft: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.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> In the BlockTalk Q&A, the camera was briefly mentioned as part of a broader "sharing" theme planned for Template:El in the future.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> It later got implemented into Template:El, using the camera to make screenshots and share them in a special book.
