Can't find default camera app

[Ashish Saraf1]

I own 520, 625 and 820 and was about to buy 535 for my gf but in the demo unit I couldn't find the default camera app!

Has it been replaced by lumia camera?

According to this page:

As ever there are actually two camera apps: the standard Windows Phone one and Lumia Camera – previously known as Nokia Camera.

I check once again and couldn't find the standard camera app

you can switch from lumia camera to Microsoft camera from Settings > Applications > Photos+Camera > Default camera app

in the full app list, there should be Camera. (not the start screen, the app list to the right of it.)

Don't have, not on L535. It's default there on my L1520, 920. Think MS done away with it. It's not even in MS Store.

It never was in the Store because it was a built in program that couldn't be uninstalled.

Odd.

I checked every 535 I could in various store and none of them had MS/Default camera app although in settings it was asking to choose either Lumia camera or Ms cam

We can change the option but there ain't camera button in 535

I have been using WP since HTC HD7 was launched.

I think MS has removed the standard camera app.

Can some 535 user please give a screen shot of app list starting with C alphabet!

Even my friends Lumia 535 had no default camera app.he was bugging me why is it not available and Lumia camera does not open.after trying many third party apps every app got closed after opening it.I think it may be a problem with the camera driver

Soft reset the phone.
The handset I tried had lumia camera working properly but it took 3 sec to open.

And now I think we can confirm that 535 doesn't have MS cam

Put camera in action center it will open the Microsoft camera after make it as default app in setting

Thanks for the tip
But it's strange that they haven't included the app in the list

Given the fact that now Microsoft made Lumia Camera, there was no wonder they tried to de-emphasize the Microsoft Camera (app); though they can still be launched from “camera” button on Action Center if you set “Microsoft Camera” as the default camera. I am referring to the one of the four customizable buttons on “Action Center”, not the physical button.

This is actually what I did.

There's another way to open it. Set the defaults camera app to Microsoft camera and then a bing search of camera settings opens the Microsoft camera
