"Photo Diary" takes pictures with exactly the same composition: you can see the results of diet and muscle training; and the growth process of a pregnant woman's stomach, foetus, etc, and plants. For each group of pictures, you can continue shooting in exactly the same composition by passing through the last photographed picture or specified picture and making it a composition guide. Also, the pictures you took are similar to seeing the differences as you go through a flip book cartoon, and it is fun to notice even the changes. Basic usage ① We decide the group name of the picture and add it ② Take a picture using the shutter button ③ Select the image you want to compare and press the Compare button Method of setting basic images ① Click "Other Menu" and click "Select a reference photo". ② Tap the image you want as a reference. ③ Click "OK". Application: When you press "Filter", it becomes an image whose outline is easy to understand. You can adjust so that it becomes only the outline with the bar below.
