It's a bit complex, however the switch under that's highlighted in blue? That's not the present sight you have, although that's absolutely a typical interface convention. You get on the primary feed which is accessed by the home button on the reduced left. Unusual, I understand.
Faucet on the camera symbol under-- center!-- with the blue emphasize. Now your camera will certainly activate and you'll see a preview of the picture you will take:
To take a picture, tap on the blue button. To earn a (brief) video clip, tap on the video camera symbol to the right of the switch.
