Take Photo Widget: Active camera only when the widget is used.

    Can the photo taking widget only turn on the camera when it is being used, not for the whole time the form is open? Once you take a photo it then has an upload option - must a respondent click this to submit the image taken or will it be captured if this is not done? Can you change the button icons/text at all?

    The same happens when you're testing the form in a computer, it actives the camera all the time you've opened the form. 

    I will submit this request as a feature to change the current functionality of the widget, our developers will consider doing this if we receive more request about the same. 

    Regarding to uploading the image, once you have taken the photo you will see two buttons, once to take another photo and the other to upload it, if you decide to directly click on the submit button then the photo will be saved and it will be attached in the submission.

    The camera should be turned off until it is needed. Also how do you choose which camera in used. My tablet used the facing lens, despite the camera using the away facing lens when it is opened separately
