That's not the existing view you have, despite the fact that that's absolutely an usual user interface convention. You get on the primary feed which is accessed by the home button on the reduced left. Weird, I understand.

Faucet on the camera icon on the bottom-- center!-- with heaven highlight. Currently your camera will certainly trigger and also you'll see a preview of the image you're about to take:
