Interacting with the camera

There are at least two ways to take a picture with FireMonkey—the first, for the lazy, is to use an ActionList, linking the action of taking a photo to a visual component, such as a button. In this case, your application will request access to the device's camera application.

The second form, however, gives us more freedom in terms of functionality, using TCameraComponent. With it, you can set the resolution, specify the type of camera (front or back) that can be used, choose to use the flash, and you can even create your own flashlight application.
