Hi guys , i’m facing an issue using camera module , its sometimes crash when i press ok to retrieve a photo. this is what my code looks like:

```auto
	function takePicture(){
	  camera.takePicture(400,350).then(function(file)
	  {
	    picture.value = file
	  }).catch(function(e) {
	      console.log(e);
	  });
};

```

when press ok to retrieve the photo , if the photo is successfully retrieved , it takes sometimes to re enter the app however it crash immediately

This is from the old version of the API. The object you get is not a file, it’s an “image” object of image data. What you would want in your code is `picture.value = file.path`.
