Hi,

You can use Qt mobility to embedded and use a camera in your app. If you just want to launch the default camera app find an article about launching app in Symbian by their UID and "locate the UID of the camera":http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Camera_Uid_for_Different_Symbian_Mobile_devices. Please note that UID of the camera app may vary on different devices!

Regards,
Leon

This thread might be helpful when it comes to flash.
"How to set the camera flash on":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/7713/
I just want to avoid posting the same answer here :)

As for lunching the camera app try using QProcess and start("CameraApp.exe").
I found the app Y-Tasks to be very helpful, among other features it will help you find the exe name and uid of apps installed on the device.

Use signal slot or event mechanism by which pressing push-button will create camera ON.
