Tutorials

  1. Point the camera at the moon
  2. Use two fingers to adjust the moon's size (Note: Bigger is not always better; too much zoom can reduce image quality)
  3. Tap the moon to autofocus. If autofocus isn't sharp enough, drag the focus slider to focus manually
  4. Tap the "-" and "+" buttons to adjust brightness. Lowering the brightness can preserve more detail in the moon
  5. Tap the circular shutter button to take a photo
