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.
