+## Sample: Take Pictures, Select Pictures from the Picture Library, and
Get Thumbnails
+
+The Camera plugin allows you to do things like open the device's Camera
app and take a picture, or open the file picker and select one. The code
snippets in this section demonstrate different tasks including:
+
+* Open the Camera app and take a Picture
+* Take a picture and return thumbnails (resized picture)
+* Take a picture and generate a FileEntry object
+* Select a file from the picture library
+* Select a JPEG image and return thumbnails (resized image)
+* Select an image and generate a FileEntry object
+
+## Take a Picture
+
+Before you can take a picture, you need to set some Camera plugin options
to pass into the Camera plugin's `getPicture` function. Here is a common set of
recommendations. In this example, you create the object that you will use for
the Camera options, and set the `sourceType` dynamically to support both the
Camera app and the file picker.
+
+```js
+function setOptions(srcType) {
+ var options = {
+ quality: 20,
+ destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
+ // In this app, dynamically set the picture source, Camera or
photo gallery
+ sourceType: srcType,
+ encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
+ mediaType: Camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
+ allowEdit: true,

Why do we recommend this quality? I'm not arguing against it, just curious.
