Step 19: Test to make sure the camera works properly. Connect the camera switch to the connector of the front of the camera and flip the switch to ON. If camera does not turn on, raise your hand.
Next, touch the two black wires together. The camera should take a picture.
If this does not happen, raise your hand.
