# tell camera to
|
||||
|
||||
The tell camera to function. #docs #antenna #ble
|
||||
|
||||
Access the photo/video-taking functionality of a remote device using the ``tell camera to`` function.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bluetooth required
|
||||
|
||||
The functions in the ``devices`` namespace allow the BBC micro:bit to communicate with a separate (remote) device, such as a smartphone, over Bluetooth (Smart).
|
||||
|
||||
The set of supported events will depend on the remote device and the BBC micro:bit apps available for the remote device.
