- Make clear, that it is not necessary to use this plugin for selecting images or using the camera. Native browser features can be used, like `<input>`.
- Add links to MDN documentation for `<input type="file">`,  attribute `accept` and `capture`
- Suggested by @erisu

> We strongly recommend using the WebView's native `<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture />` element before opting for this plugin.

> The example above demonstrates how to capture an image. If you only need to select an existing image, simply remove the `capture` attribute.

This plugin defines a global `navigator.camera` object, which provides an API for taking pictures and choosing images from the device's image library.
Although the object is attached to the global `navigator` object, it is not available until after the `deviceready` event.
