How to use?
- Open the Camera of your smartphone.

- ISO
- SPEED
- Exposure Value (EV)

ISO: Select an ISO value. It controls camera light sensitivity. Low values are for stationary or brightly-lit objects. Higher values are for fast-moving or poorly-lit objects. However, higher ISO settings can result in noise in pictures or videos.
SPEED: Adjust the shutter speed. A slow shutter speed allows more light in, so the picture or video becomes brighter. This is ideal for pictures or videos of scenery or pictures or videos taken at night. A fast shutter speed allows less light in. This is ideal for capturing pictures or videos of fast-moving subjects.
Exposure Value (EV): Change the exposure value. This determines how much light the camera’s sensor receives. For low-light situations, use a higher exposure.
FOCUS: Change the focus mode. Drag the adjustment bar to manually adjust the focus.
White Balance (WB): Select an appropriate white balance, so images have a true-to-life colour range. You can set the color temperature.
MIC: Select which direction sound you want to record at a higher level. You can also use a USB or Bluetooth microphone by connecting it to your device (Pro video mode).
ZOOM: Adjust the zoom speed (Pro video mode).
