The wiki does not include ways of using the camera. #279

It might be good to include commonly used references to Gnome Camera, or Cheese if you want to use this driver.

In addition the wiki does not mention how to turn the camera on, or off in absence or in presence of these applications.

For example for a poorly functioning app it may turn the camera on, but when you close the app the camera is still on and functioning as seen by the green light. For which cases it would be good to have some command line options to turn it off. Or develop a program for on/off.
