In point of fact, this is an easy-to-use device that provides adequate magnification. I do not recommend taking because the device only enables you to take pictures after you have selected the appropriate scene setting. Since this process is carried out in automatic mode, it is not guaranteed to be successful. In manual mode, all of the same automatic settings are involved; however, they are selected at the discretion of the device. In manual mode, you also have the ability to configure ISO, which is of relatively minor importance in this device, as well as a few extra candy wrappers. As has been stated previously, this product's one and only redeeming quality is its zoom capability; nevertheless, this benefit is periodically nullified by the device's subpar autofocus, its loud matrix, and its unpredictable button failures. I looked, and it appears that this is a rather typical occurrence. In a separate comment, I have something to make about the video. If you zoom in on the recording, you can clearly hear the howl of the lens motor. This occurs whenever you use the zoom. In this scenario, the focus is perpetually lost, and the picture does not return to its usual state until several seconds after the recording has been halted.
