This is about learning how to use the camera in the Excel.

How to use the Camera Tool?
Click on the cell that you want to create picture of.
Click on the camera on top. You have a picture of the cell ready.
This tool specifically captures cells, creating a live image that updates automatically if the source data changes. If you need to capture an image of a chart or other objects, consider using the “Copy Picture” command instead.
Keep in Mind:
- Images created using the Camera tool are linked pictures, allowing for automatic updates when the source data changes.
- The Camera tool is specifically tailored for cells and ranges, not for capturing charts or objects within Excel.
Utilizing the Camera tool can significantly streamline the process of creating live, dynamic images of cell ranges, enhancing visual representations in your Excel workbooks.
