How to manually activate camera

I appreciate how the vehicle frequently turns the camera on when parking, but sometimes I pull into a spot and the camera doesn't come on, is there a voice command to do that. I've tried Hey Mercedes Camera On with no success...

I long press the car icon button to the left of the touch pad.
Works every time and also gives the full camera view, not just the small 360 degree view.

The car icon button is the quick access button, press and release shows icons like parking sensors which you can turn off and on, keep finger on it brings up cameras. Camera automatically comes on when reverse is selected but not in drive..
