Why is camera app sending data?

When enabling cellular data, I've noticed that the camera app is sending data via the mobile connection, even when the app is closed and not in use. I know it is just a small amount of data, but it started with about 20kb and then increased to 50kb after 10-15 minutes. Is there any reason why it sends data when not in use?
