Allows Arduino board to capture certain moments using your smartphone’s camera.

Special shields allow your Arduino board to use some capabilities your smartphone can do, like playing music, taking a picture, getting notifications, accessing the clock data and using the touch screen for various functions.Learn more from the special shields tutorial.

Camera library allows your Arduino board to take pictures from your smartphone’s camera either rear camera or the front camera if exists.

Adding #define CUSTOM_SETTINGS along with #define INCLUDE_CAMERA_SHIELD is a key that will let you unlock the Camera shield only amongst all shields and prevent 1Sheeld library from eating your memory specially for UNO board.
