Hello, your fusebox/MCBs are made by GE, or also used to be known as Vynknier. Not asure if they do a single module rcbo for this board or not.
Try looking at

I would never fit anyone elses make of MCB into a disboard, it only takes a slight difference in the size of the busbar spacing or terminal size to create a potentially dangerous hotspot, also it invalidates any warranty you have with the manafacturers of your distribution board. Also it looks crap in my oppinion, looks like a DIY job and rings alarm bells as soon as i see it in a board. As for that RCBO fitting nto your disboard, it most likeley will fit, but check with the manafacturers first and see , sometimes they make a retro-fit kit for it to change betweeen different spacings of busbar .

Tomm, you must be one of the 75% of people who dont know how to use most of teh settings on the modern gadgets we have!
Try to find the close up setting, maybe under the settings on the "scene" setting!
No offence, i only just found it on my camera!
