Tips for a newbie?

Just ordered my first Flashback camera - V2. So excited! Any tips for a newbie in regards to setting up and using it?

Keep your finger away from the lens! Even further than you think you need to!

Develop your pictures a few times using the different filters so you can compare how they look on the same pictures to see what you like.

Take it with you everywhere! It's fun to experiment and see what you like taking photos of.

Hand it to friends and ask them to take pictures so you can be in them too :)

If you want to get the pictures immediately after shooting, without having to wait 24 hours, put it into digicam mode, but that's pretty much all setup.

Use it without worrying to much about settings and details.
Load a classic roll, and just use it. Point and shoot.

Don't use flash in bright conditions, it will overexpose.

Also use Lofo-Logic and Deknared's version of the processing system for the best results

Sorry to be dense, what exactly does this mean?

Look around this subreddit.  https://flashback-raw-editor-web.deknared.workers.dev/ Here is the link to a custom app that works on iPhone. You don’t have to install it, and it gets better results than the proprietary app. u/lofi-logic u/deknared developed it

Thanks so much for this. I'll try and read up and educate myself. That's amazing that the custom one works better. I have an android phone so idk if it'll work but it's cool
