# CAMERA_StartCapture

## Syntax

  `#include <twl/camera.h>`
  `void CAMERA_StartCapture( void );`

## Arguments

None.

## Return Values

None.

## Description

Starts capturing. Starts getting image data from the next frame after this function was called (at the end of the camera V-Blank). For this reason, the actual sending of data to the buffer set by functions such as `CAMERA_DmaRecvAsync` does not begin until after the next camera V-Blank.
Note that the camera V-Blank differs from the LCD (GX) V-Blank.
This function starts saving image data to the line buffer for the active camera. The `CAMERA_I2CActivate` function must be called to start the camera module itself.
