Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Camera

The Camera app is available in your NookPhone from the start. It is useful for taking screenshots of all your island decorations and even obtaining Nook Miles. The advantages to using the camera app instead of the snapshot button is the ability to use filters and frames, zoom in and out.

Controls

 * Changing the camera position
 * You can zoom in the camera by pressing the X button and zoom out by pressing the  Y button.
 * To move the camera, use the directional pad.


 * Setting the scene
 * Choose one of the available filters by pressing down the ZL button and choose a frame by pressing down the  L button.
 * If you press the R button, your character will look in the camera.


 * Taking the photo
 * Press plus button to take a photo. This will save the screenshot into your Switch Album. It will be either stored in your Switch storage or on your SD card, based on your setting.
 * To exit the camera, press the minus button or the  B button.

Obtaining the screenshots
The stored screenshots in your Switch Album can be shared via Facebook or Twitter. If you do not have a microSD card, this is a good way to move the screenshots to your computer.
