With the flash? Without the flash?

Not sure whether to use or not use the flash? You can take two photos in quick succession. After the shutter button is pressed, the camera can take two shots. One will be without the flash and the other with the flash. You don't have to look for the flash button and you'll get both compositions immediately.

A better view of the sun

The brightness of the LCD can be easily adjusted to change the ambient lighting conditions to make the picture clearly visible during shooting. Brightness can be increased by up to two degrees, so even the dark areas of the display will be more visible in the sun. On the other hand, you can reduce the brightness of the screen when taking photos at night.

Underwater mode

This mode uses white balance optimised for underwater photography, making colours appear more natural. Adding the red colour while it is submerged will capture the full beauty of the underwater world.
