Discover Photo Pro
Photo Pro has two main features, the BASIC (Basic) mode and AUTO/P/S/M modes. With the BASIC (Basic) mode, you
can easily take photos and record videos in a manner similar to a regular smartphone camera. With the AUTO/P/S/M
modes, you can shoot your ideal images as if using a professional camera.
BASIC (Basic) mode
Taking advantage of the operability of smartphones, you can easily take photos and record videos by tapping the screen.
Lenses can be switched smoothly from ultra-wide to standard.
In addition to taking photos with settings automatically adjusted by the camera according to the scene and conditions,
you can also use the continuous shooting mode, Bokeh effect, brightness and color adjustment, and more.
The interface switches automatically, so you can use the camera both vertically and horizontally.

SIM reachability. You must enable it manually.
Before using multiple SIM cards, you need to enable them and select a SIM card which will handle data traffic.
