"Exactly," she said. "The camera is just a tool. The trick is knowing which button not to ignore."
Mira pointed to the tiny lens above Liam’s screen. "First, you need a camera. Most laptops have one built-in—that little dot next to the microphone hole. If you don’t see one, you’d need an external USB webcam. But yours has it."
His older sister, Mira, overheard. "Easy," she said. "It’s not a magic trick. Just follow the breadcrumbs."
Liam needed a profile picture for his new online coding course. His smartphone was dead, and his charger had vanished into the black hole behind his desk. He stared at his laptop, frustrated. "How can I take a picture from my laptop?" he muttered.
The screen lit up with Liam’s surprised face. "Now, compose your shot," Mira instructed. "Look at the lens, not your own face on the screen—otherwise, you’ll look like you’re staring at your chin."
He tilted the screen slightly, moved a lamp in front of him (not behind, or he’d be a silhouette), and wiped a smudge off the lens with a microfiber cloth. Instantly, the image was sharper.
From that day on, Liam never feared the tiny lens again. And he always kept his phone charged.
