A built-in camera is absent from the Nintendo Switch. The Switch lacks a hardware or software camera, so it cannot be used to snap photos or record videos. A smartphone, tablet, or digital camera can be used to shoot images or record videos. These cameras often include high-quality lenses and sophisticated functions like filters, flashes, and zooms because they are made exclusively for taking pictures and videos. It's important to note that some Switch games may use the system's motion controllers to let you capture pictures or record videos while you're playing, but these media aren't stored on the Switch or accessible outside the game. Only the game itself makes use of them.
