I have the same question.
My options are:
Screen Lock
Lock Screen widgets
Make pattern visible
secured lock time
I figured it out. The Lock Screen need to be set to "Swipe" to show the "Multiple Widgets" option, and "Shortcut to Lock Screen" need to be "On". Then you can just hold and swipe the "Camera" icon on lock screen to activate camera. This trick also work on the Phone, email, and google shortcuts that also show on my lock screen by default
