Most phones have multiple camera lenses on the back for different modes. To find which lens to use, open your camera app in its default mode (usually called auto or photo), then try to attach it while looking at the phone screen. You'll see which lens it works with as you move and adjust the ring light. Release the clip to secure it in place once centered over the appropriate lens.
If your phone has a bulky case or detachable lens protectors, those may need to be removed for best results.
Focusing
If you find your photos are blurry, try moving closer! With your camera in its default mode, find your point of focus by positioning your phone as close to your subject as you can without touching, then slowly back away until the subject comes into focus. You should only need to move back about an inch, but for some phones 2-3" is the ideal distance.
Many phones also have an option for a macro or close-up mode-- try using this mode to capture even smaller subjects! Generally, this will require clipping the macro lens accessory over a different lens on the back of your phone, and you'll want to move your phone even closer to the subject to shoot, less than an inch. This mode reveals tiny details not visible to the naked eye and is a great way to explore the world around you.

Long press the power button (about 5 seconds) to turn on/off, medium press (about 3 seconds) to toggle between tones, and tap to adjust between three brightness levels.
