Capture and send with the camera
The Camera tab is in the middle at the bottom. From here, a photo reaches your chats in a few taps.

Capture
- Photo: tap the shutter button.
- Video: touch and hold the shutter button. If you slide left while holding, the camera keeps recording without you holding.
- Switch camera: double-tap the image. Pinch with two fingers to zoom.
There’s also flash, Live Photo and a 3- or 10-second self-timer.
Edit
After capturing, you can use Text, Draw, Emoji, Crop and Filter, and for videos also Trim and Sound. Stickers include time, date and Location. For the location, Nodbase asks for your location once.
Send or save

QR codes
Point the camera at a QR code in photo mode, and Nodbase recognizes it by itself. See Scan QR codes.
Note: If you haven’t allowed the camera, it says the camera is off. Allow it in iOS Settings under Nodbase › Camera.
