## Take a Picture to use as a Symbol

The front and rear cameras on the device allow you to take pictures to use on buttons. These pictures help personalize an individual’s communication. For example, a picture of the individual’s mom could be used on a “Mom” button.

To take a picture to use on a button, select **Menu** > **Editor.** Once you are looking at the button you want to edit, select **Edit**. Choose the button you want to modify.

1. Select the **Symbol** tab on the left and then select the **Camera** tab at the top of the window.

![The Edit Button window shows the Symbol tab selected. The window also displays a large preview area and a Take Picture button.](https://cdn.document360.io/7e1d5036-9a43-443d-8ea7-a17280ea302d/Images/Documentation/changing-a-button-symbol-image-sy1dpbtm.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-07T07%3A10%3A10Z&se=2026-11-07T08%3A10%3A10Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=kVL4QQmiwrUpTO6Z8qrmtQ%2FIiUEO84OxJ7CpwuDM7DM%3D)

**Note:** If you are not satisfied with the picture, select **Try Again** and then select **Take Picture** again.
3. When you are satisfied with the picture, select **Finished**. The photo will appear on the button.
4. Select **Save**.

**Note:** If you realize you are not satisfied with the photo after all, select **Cancel** instead of Save. Then select **No, don’t save** at the confirmation prompt. The button will display the original symbol instead of the photo.
