Important Notes:

For Tap to capture option:

2. Simply tap anywhere on the screen where the subject is visible to take a photo. This gives you flexibility in framing your shot without needing to press a dedicated shutter button.

3. Experiment with different angles and distances to see how tap-to-capture works best for you.

For Show Palm option:

1. Hold your smartphone steady and ensure the front camera is facing you.

2. Extend your palm facing the camera until it is recognized (you might see a visual countdown).

3. This feature is useful for selfies or group shots as it allows you to pose without needing to press a button, letting you focus on framing the perfect shot.

For Portrait Distortion correction:

1.  Position your subject in the centre of the frame to get the best results. This helps to minimize any distortion and ensures that the effect is applied evenly.

2. Experiment with the distance between the camera and your subject. Standing slightly further away can help reduce distortion, especially if shooting close-up portraits.
