Now() will get you the current date and time. Location.Latitude and Location.Longitude will get the GPS stuff. You could write those as metadata to wherever you are storing the file. Assuming you are using a flow this video talks about passing metadata ruclips.net/video/AHWvG2C9vQo/видео.html
@@ShanesCows Thanks very much Shane, I was hoping to overlay the timestamp and location as text on the actual photo. I'm also wondering what is the best way to capture video with the canvas app camera control.
Great video! I built a counting app and used a previous video of yours as a reference. I used the image capture to take a picture of a bundle of pipe then an overlay to “swipe” on each piece to count while the app kept track of each swipe. I’m hoping it will help our employees when doing schedules cycle counts for inventory. Any future videos on incorporating A.I. to help recognize patterns for counting or other purposes? Thanks for the awesome videos.
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to explain. do you know how to use the feature to take photos of SharePoint lists in PowerApps? Specifically, when you want to take a photo, there are three options, whiteboard, photo and document, I want to use the last one to take photos of a bill in a restaurant.
Not directly but have you seen the AI Builder stuff? The same things I show in this video for invoice processing I also played with and it worked for receipt processing really well. ruclips.net/video/ogFz7BbLfvc/видео.html
In one of my "inspection" / "walkdown" apps I use a micture of add media control and attachments. I request users to use the attachment control to upload photos which i then display in a vertical gallery (which doesnt display on mobile app but does display on computer browser).The media control is for the "key photo observation". When using SPlist as the datasource, i find i am forced to use attachments to allow users to upload multiple photos againt one inspection/walkdown... I wish there was an easier way to capture several photos against one SP ID entry as opposed to creating several picture columns.
The images I upload in power apps look fine if they are small. But they become blurry once enlarged. I have set the image size to the highest kb size possible in the column setting for the image. I also checked the "allow full size image" in the column setting. I have also tried the .full extension in the image property area and no luck. Any idea on how I can unblur the images?
Thank you, Shane! I'm wondering if there is something different to do when adding an image to an SQL Server / Table. The app I've built works fine in a browser, but when I use it on my phone and I choose to upload an image from my phone, I will randomly get "Network Error when using Patch function. An error occurred on the server" and the image doesn't get uploaded. I can select image after image and will only get that error sometimes. I've not been able to pinpoint what is causing it. File size is small, file type is usually jpg or heif (png seems to work fine, but users in the field will not typically have their images in that format). Has anyone else had this happen? I've tried with wifi and with cellular at different locations, so it shouldn't be an 'actual' network error... Thanks, again, for your videos! I'm a paying member, but can't find a place on the site to ask this question.
My biggest advice would be don't store images in SQL. 😐 It is the worst option for storing files. Since your app is premium the best option would be to store the images in Azure Blob Storage. The video is old but the concept is still the same ruclips.net/video/wF0MmiaGO_o/видео.html If you don't want to store them there then consider SharePoint. I have went the SQL file store route once and it just doesn't age well. If you have Office Hours on your subscription, which most people do, then you can join on 1/18 and we can discuss live. training.powerapps911.com/courses/take/office-hours/texts/10052974-introduction-and-scheduling If you have challenges email me and I can help. :)
Thank you, @@ShanesCows! I'll check the Azure blob route, along with SharePoint. I typically do most, if not everything, in SP but this is another user's app and they've been using the SQL table for a couple of years without issue. The errors started happening around March 2023, I think. They've just been dealing with them and finally brought me in to check it out. Appreciate your support and will be at the next Office Hours!
Great explanation of what happens around the camera control, Shane.
Thank you 🤩
Great video! The picture control tutorial is sooooo helpful
Glad it was helpful! Hope you have a great day.
Thanks for this awesome video Shane. The picture control is now top of my list for media
Glad to help
Hi Shane, thanks for another brilliant video. What's the best way to add a timestamp and a geolocation to the photo?

Interesting idea. I will add it to my list of ideas to think about. Thanks. 😎
Great video Shane!!!

Hi. Great video! Could you tell me how I can use Add picture as well as pen input so I can take a picture and then make some drawings on it? Thanks
This should help you get started ruclips.net/video/bsJAG9dJlcc/видео.html
Is there a camera option for a model driven app?

I am using Powerapps in Teams (dataverse for teams) and do not see a camera control. Can you assist?
Thanks Shane. 👍👍💥💥
Happy to help. Have a great day. 🐶
Does anyone found a solution for scanning documents? (Document scan, border detection, rectify images etc)
can you keep back facing camera as default?
Yes. The camera control has a Camera property. That is the Default. Change it to the number for the back camera
Por fin un video que me funciono, muchas gracias
Happy to help. Have a great day. 🐶
