They have very distinct abilities and can help you take very different photos. Select one based on the situation. Some of these work better for portraits, and some work better for landscapes. They help frame a subject or scene. To select one, just press down on it. In the example, "rule of thirds" is selected. A new framing grid will appear on the screen in camera mode.

This gives you a different angle and helps to frame pictures better in order to create better photos.
