Getting started with the simple auto mode and I could take pictures of very good quality that stay sharp even enough magnifying. The manual is complete and easy to understand, there is additionally a supplied CD The only flaw was a failure if it's the flash that unfolds after a small metal arm by pressing a button. It's a bit strange and I wonder how long it will work, we must see to use After some time I can say that the battery lasts long enough or about 250 photos in high definition and with some taken with the flash. By cons I'm really not a fan of the optical zoom compared to the Lumix panasonic that grows more and better.
