The joint commands require publishing to the topic, as it's actuators. Cameras are sensors, so they would require subscribing to the camera topic and receiving images.
So MATLAB code to display the cameras would be something like:
imgSub = rossubscriber('/cameras/head_camera/image');
imgMsg = receive(imgSub); % or imgMsg = imgSub.LatestMessage
img = readImage(imgMsg);
imshow(img);
Hope this helps.
