It's a bit confusing, however the button under that's highlighted in blue? That's not the existing view you have, even though that's certainly a common user interface convention. You get on the main feed which is accessed by the home button on the lower left. Odd, I know.

Faucet on the camera icon under-- facility!-- with the blue highlight. Now your camera will trigger and also you'll see a preview of the picture you're about to take:
