Take Photos & Personal Videos
Use the camera on your Fire phone to take photos and record video. Photos and videos taken with the
camera can automatically be stored in your Cloud Drive.
Note: Photos from your phone do not count against your Cloud Drive storage. Automatic video uploads count towards
your Cloud Drive storage and are enabled by default. If you don't want your videos to upload to your Cloud Drive
automatically, access the left panel, tap Photos and then tap Settings. Tap Off next to Auto-save. This will disable
automatic upload of photos and videos.
If you exceed your Cloud Drive storage limit, you won't be able to upload any additional videos until you
purchase additional storage or make space for videos by deleting existing content. You will still be able to
view and play previously uploaded videos.
To open the camera, tap the Camera icon from the carousel or app grid on the Home screen.
