REVEAL 16I OPERATION MODES Your Reveal 16i has two main operation modes: Live Mode and Advanced Mode. At any time, you can toggle seamlessly from one mode to another by pressing the Switch Button just below the screen.

Live Mode is the default operation mode. You will start in this mode every time you power on your device....

Pull the bottom section upwards, rotating the camera towards you. 4. Point the camera towards your subject (school board, landscape, etc.). 5.
