7.6 Measuring areas

7.6.1 General

Note The availability of this feature is dependent on the camera model.
The distance measured by the laser distance meter can be used as the basis for area
calculations. A typical application is to estimate the size of a damp stain on a wall.
To measure the area of a surface, you need to lay out a box or circle measurement tool
on the screen. The camera calculates the area of the surface enclosed by the box or
circle tool. The calculation is an estimate of the surface area, based on the measured
distance to the target.
When the laser distance meter is on, you will see a laser dot approximately at the target.
The laser distance meter measures the distance to that target. The camera assumes that
this distance is valid for the entire box or circle tool.
