* point the viewfinder at the barcode so that it’s sharp on-screen, barcode is read automatically
* if the scanned code is a product code (EAN/GTIN-13) then product information is automatically fetched
* tap or tap&hold the codes on screen to open additional menus
* “sun” icon turns the flash on – helps with scanning in low light conditions (on phones with flash)
* “viewfinder” button toggles partial scanning mode, good for scanning just one barcode from a tight group
* for longer barcodes turn the phone horizontally so the code fits the screen better
* on startup the focus is locked to a very short distance (~10cm) to speed up the scanning process (if supported by the phone)
* camera button of the phone focuses the camera
