Windows 8 rear camera

So I've done some googling and can't really find any answer to this. I have an windows store application that is using the MediaCapture API, what i can't find is a way to find if the device has a rear camera and switch to that. Is there any samples or anybody got any ups on how this can be accomplished. Thanks Carl

Okay so I have come it with an answer by playing around!

If you use DeviceInfomation.FindAllAsync to look for video capture devices you can get the enclosure location and then loop through until you find one that corresponds to Back.

Then you can get the ID of the element and set it into your camera id using MediaCaptureInitalizationSettings then all you have to do is initialize with the settings and hey presto!.
