There is a shutter cover on the front that just pops off. It's magnetized and easy to pull on and off so that's a nice protective option for this camera. It also came with a lanyard and there's a section on the left side of the camera to put the lanyard through to hold with your wrist.
On the top of the camera you have the red shutter button which takes the picture, you have a 10 second timer that you press if you're trying to get the perfect position or be in the picture, you have the viewing window in the middle. All you have to do is press it down and it pops up. That little window is what you look through to frame your picture. Just to the left of that is the flash button that lights up when it selected and the color gradient is next to that. You press down on the color gradient to show what colors you are hoping to expose on your picture. In the video, I chose the colorful selection.
It comes with a charging cord that is similar to my Android charging cord for my phone and tablet. It also has the option of using an SD card to save pictures. There's no viewing window to look at your pictures later within the camera, so you would have to take the SD card out to manipulate those photos. That was honestly the only thing that I would change about this camera is a viewing window to maybe be able to select the pictures I want to print. I did however get this for my five-year-old who will be extremely happy to have her own camera and be able to see pictures immediately.
The pictures aren't perfect, but definitely would be a fun time for her birthday party that's coming up where her and her friends can take selfies using the timer and instantly have a picture documenting that time. It's a lot of fun, really cute to look at, and I would definitely recommend this as a gift or just for fun. I'm having a lot more fun with it than I expected and I'm definitely going to be buying more of this Zinc paper.
