== Description ==

[[~~Rockstar North|Rockstar Games~~]] ~~added~~ camera ~~functionality in ''~~Grand Theft Auto'', ~~starting in ''~~[[Grand Theft Auto: ~~Vice~~ City~~|GTA~~ Vice City]]~~''. In ''GTA Vice City''~~ the player could only use it ~~once for a [[Martha's Mug Shot |~~mission]].

The first [[Grand Theft Auto]] game to feature an interactable camera was [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], although, like later games [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], the player could only use it in one mission.

The device is also available in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: ~~San Andreas|GTA~~ San Andreas]]'', albeit with more functionality, allowing the player to use it freely. It can be used in [[San Fierro]] to collect [[snapshots]], which is required to achieve 100% completion. Pictures taken with the camera can be saved. If the player recruits a [[Grove Street Families|gang member]], the player can give the camera to him by walking up to him and pulling the left trigger. After that, the game is viewed through the perspective of the gang member and pictures of [[Carl Johnson|CJ]] can be taken. The player can also aim the camera at a [[Girlfriends|girlfriend]] and CJ will say something related to photo-shooting and she will wave. If you aim the camera at a gang member, CJ will say something like he says to his girlfriend, but the gang member will not respond or wave unless the player ~~have~~ recruited him.

In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the player is equipped with a [[Whiz|camera phone]] during the mission [[Photo Shoot]]. The camera is used in certain missions where a picture is required. Outside of missions, [[snapshots]] can be taken, but there is no way of saving them. Accessing the camera function of the phone when in a cable car or train allows for first-person view. In a player-controlled vehicle however, the car will stop immediately when the camera is selected, no matter what speed (this glitch was fixed in the PC version).
