Making a movie with the video camera
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK is essentially a midsized smartphone in many ways. And like any proper current smartphone, it has not one, but two cameras — one on the back and the other on the front. They can take still pictures or video.
I still laugh when I see people holding a tablet at arm’s length and tapping at the screen to take a picture. It’s a bit awkward and hard to control. But still, it’s a camera and the result is still a photograph.
Putting Down a Book to Take a Picture
On the plus side, the cameras in this NOOK can immediately display the pictures or videos you make (and with a screen considerably larger than the ones on plain old digital cameras). You can create a gallery of images on the tablet and do some basic editing, and you can share them by email, social network, or Internet.
