To begin, I opened Instagram on my smart device as well as below's what I saw:


It's a bit complex, however the switch under that's highlighted in blue? That's not the present view you have, although that's certainly a typical interface convention. You get on the primary feed which is accessed by the home button on the lower left. Unusual, I understand.

Tap on the camera icon under-- center!-- with the blue emphasize. Currently your camera will certainly turn on and you'll see a preview of the photo you're about to take:


To take an image, faucet on the blue button. Making a (short) video, tap on the video camera icon to the right of the switch.

Successive, I'll tweak the Contrast given that I discover that on my iPhone, at the very least, it's always simply a little bit below I choose:
