Windows 10: File location for camera photos

When I take a photo or video with my Surface Pro 7 camera I want it to ask me where to store the photo. I need to be able to specify a specific folder on a specific drive and it may be different each time I take a photo. Is there a way to do this?

:)

 

When I take a photo of myself with my laptop camera, what directory is it placed in?

By default, your pictures should appear in your Pictures\Camera Roll folder. If they aren't there, follow these steps to figure out where they are being saved:

1. Take a picture with the camera app.
   
2. Click the thumbnail of the picture you just took at the bottom right of the app.
   
3. When the photo viewer opens, click the three dots (...) at the top right and select "File Info".
   

A panel will then appear and it will tell you the directory where your picture is located.

If you created your account picture by going to your account settings and then selecting "create your picture -> camera", then the picture will not have been stored in your camera roll. It will be located in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures as mentioned by @kicken.

 

Missing apps: Store, People, Photos, Games & Camera on upgrading to 10

Thanks for replying spunk. That's the 'alphabetical' list I was referring to, none of these apps are in that 'All apps' list. Any more suggestions?

 

Photographs saved in camera roll not showing location

Hello

I, too, have lost this particular functionality.

I have the 950. At first, the location was saved with photos, but no longer.

I have reviewed all the privacy and location settings I can think of. Everything is enabled. I have tried the soft reset suggested by Jose, and that has made no difference.

Here's the settings I've checked:

• Privacy Settings
  • Location Settings
    • Location = "on"
    • Relevant Apps set to access location:
      • Blink
      • Camera
      • Cortana
      • Lumia Creative Studio
      • Lumia Motion Data
  • Camera Settings
    • Let apps use my camera = "on"
  • Background Apps Settings
    • Windows Camera = "On"

I can't find anything else that affects the camera and its access to location data.

Can anyone help?
