Incoming Facetime Camera Control on iPhone

My wife just got a new iPhone, and as I have never been an iPhone user, I am having trouble determining some of the best settings to choose for her. (She leaves all that to me on her MacBook Air, iPad Mini, and now the iPhone - foolishly perhaps.)

In particular, and most urgent, she received a FaceTime call this morning, which turned out to be a wrong number.

But when the phone rang, she grabbed her iPhone, swiped to answer and her camera was turned on and she was seeing the face of the woman who called her. I sort of expected she would be prompted with a message saying there was an incoming FaceTime call and asking her if she wished to accept it, before it would turn on her camera.

Is there a setting for that? I can't seem to spot one.

Had she not been so quick to swipe to unlock, she would have seen two buttons on the bottom of the incoming call: accept and decline.

Yes, thanks Chas, It is amazing what having a few more days to play with new toys can do for one's comfort levels. My wife, who normally leaves her computer and iPad configuration and maintenance to me has (wisely) seemed to get more involved with her new iPhone (since I have no iPhone experience at all) and is learning much more about it.
