Tips for taking clearer photos

Holding the camera correctly

Make sure not to block the screen, lens, flash, or microphone.

Make sure not to expose the lens to direct sunlight. This may discolour the image sensor, or cause it to malfunction.

Half-pressing the Shutter button

Press the Shutter button halfway down to adjust the focus. The camera adjusts the focus, exposure, and white balance automatically, and the focus frame turns green. The focus frame turns red if not focused.
