The camera is a non-damaging weapon in the GTA series that does what everyone expects it to do. It takes pictures of whatever the player is aiming at. It's a simple concept that most gamers can understand, especially since most of them have taken a picture before with a camera or a phone.
This article will focus on missions where the player takes a picture with a camera. While there are missions in the HD universe where you do it with a phone, there is a distinct difference between a camera and a phone. The first is classified as a weapon, while the second is always available to the player in their respective games.
Five iconic missions in the GTA series where the player had to use a camera
#5 – Photo Opportunity (GTA San Andreas)
Photo Opportunity is a simple but iconic mission in GTA San Andreas. Here, the player picks up Cesar and they head to a location in the countryside to gather some information about their enemies.
From there, they locate Ryder, T-Bone Mendez, Mike Toreno, and Jizzy B. CJ has to take a picture of these four individuals, and it's a pretty safe mission. There's not a lot of action going on, but its importance in the plot makes it so memorable.
# 4 – The Mugshot Longshot (GTA Vice City Stories)
Victor and Lance Vance lie to the Mendez brothers about who stole their coke. Instead of admitting that they did it (and causing unnecessary conflict for themselves), they decide to frame it all on Sgt. Martinez.
Sgt. Martinez isn't really an undercover DEA agent, but the Mendez brothers don't know that. Everything goes according to plan, and the Vance Brothers do a few more missions for the Mendez Brothers afterwards.
#3 – Architectural Espionage (GTA San Andreas)
Here, CJ goes to the Department of Urban Planning to take a photo of the plans for Casino Caligula. Of course, not everything goes according to plan, so CJ has to evade some cops and security after getting that photo.
This quest makes good use of an otherwise useless interior, and is also wrapped up in the memorable side story to rob Caligula's house. Also, CJ turning off Wu Zi Mu's lights at the end of the intro cutscene is a lot of fun.

Toni Cipriani is fed up with his mother praising Giovanni Casa, so he wants to prove that this is not the man his mother thinks he is. This quest involves the player following Giovanni for a while before the player has to take a picture of him in a diaper chasing hookers.
Unfortunately for Toni, her mother disapproves of this. Instead, she finds it embarrassing that Toni wastes her time taking a picture of it instead of doing something more meaningful.
#1 – Martha's Mugs (GTA Vice City)
Taking a picture of a politician in an embarrassing outfit is a step beyond taking a picture of a butcher in a diaper. In Martha's Mughot, Tommy Vercetti follows Candy Suxxx as her Stretch takes her to Alex Shrub's location.
From there, Tommy goes to a building opposite the one those two are in and then takes some pictures of Alex Shrub in a questionable outfit. In addition to wanting to be called Martha, this mission is memorable for the FBI trying to pursue the player.
