Chapter 3. Getting Started
Tips for Good Results
• Hold the Reader straight and point the camera directly at the text. Holding
the camera at a severe angle can distort the text image and corrupt the
playback.
• To ensure proper focus, hold the Reader at approximately nose level when
you are seated in front of the printed material. If the Reader is too close to
or too far from the text being captured, the results will vary. Be sure to hold
the Reader still when capturing an image, and allow the device to adjust
to lighting conditions for a few seconds before shooting the first image.
You can use the Practice Page that comes with the Reader, to become
accustomed to holding the Reader and finding the right distance from the
page.
• Ensure that there is some text or an image in the center of the material
you want to capture. The camera uses text or images in that area to adjust
focus.
• To help ensure clear images, position the Reader away from overhead lights,
windows and desk lamps. Light that shines too brightly on the page can
interfere with the Reader's ability to capture a good image.
• To capture only the text you want, remove extra items, such as unnecessary
text or your fingers, from the camera's field of view. Hold or wear the
lanyard when capturing an image, to prevent it from interfering with the
camera lens or the flash.
