How to invoke system camera from custom Windows phone 8.1.app

Is there a way to use default camera app(Nokia/Microsoft camera) in my app?
I would like to, on btn click to call system camera. Take a picture with it, and then upload that picture to the server from my app.
If there is no way to do that, what is the best way to create camera app so user can use zoom, flashlight, etc.
EDIT:
This was available in older versions of Windows phone, and it was simple to use
like this:
CameraCaptureTask camera = new CameraCaptureTask();
camera.Show();
camera.Completed += new EventHandler<PhotoResult>(camera_Completed);
I don't understand why would MS remove this ability from Windows phone 8.1
Thank you,
regards
The camera capture task was based on Silverlight APIs and was valid for Windows phone 7 and 8 that used silverlight Pages . The camera APIs are now based on WinRT Universal APIs . Have a look at this

In-app cyclic photo tile for windows phone

I am trying to create an in-app tile like the image below (groups), with images flipping on the tile. I have gone through the HubTile but couldn't find. Which WP control would help to create such type of tile effect. Plus, will data binding of images be possible for the tile ImageSource ?
P.S. - This is not a live tile. I want the tile within the app.
Have you tried ImageTile control from Coding4Fun toolkit?
A detailed article on how to use it can be found on GeekChamp.

How exactly can i do that ?
