Operating Instructions
Taking a Photo:

- Flash Control: Press the flash button (small button next to the shutter) to toggle the flash on or off. The flash is recommended for indoor shots or low-light conditions.
- Capture: Press the large red shutter button to take the picture. The photo will eject from the front of the camera.
