Camera Settings - GE MapSight User Manual

Camera Settings

This screen allows you to view and change the settings for the
photos taken with MapSight.
The Image Resolution drop-down list shows the number of
megapixels to be used for each photo. A higher resolution will give
more detailed photos, but take up more memory storage space.
The number of options available on the Image Resolution list
depends on the model of MapSight unit purchased. An Image
Resolution of 3.2MP is selected by default.
Captured Data Review provides options for post-capture review;
when the:
• 'Display until user confirms' option is selected the photo review
screen is presented until the user taps the [Save] button. When
this option is selected, the 'Retry' option is also available from
the Review screen to allow the user to discard the captured
photo and retry the capture. This option is enabled by default.
'Display for X second(s)' option is selected the photo review
•
screen is presented, briefly while the photo is saved, then for
the number of seconds selected on the slider. The display time-
out ranges between 0 and 5 seconds.
EXIF Local Pos Fields Populated As options
The Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) fields are pieces of
information stored with each photo. These use the EXIF v2.2
standard format for digital photos, such as the time and date, but
also include fields for target positional data which MapSight
records. With each reading, MapSight records both the Local
position (where your MapSight is physically located) and the Target
position (the object that the crosshairs are targeting.) For some
applications, such as Google Earth, it is useful to record the GPS
coordinates for the target position in the EXIF Local Position field so
that map icons will show where the object actually is, but have an
attached picture that was taken from a distance. By default,
MapSight sets this field to store the target position data.
WARNING! Where the EXIF Local Position field is set as
'Target Position' the EXIF will record the same value in the
EXIF Latitude / Longitude and Destination Latitude /
Longitude fields.
The Save Image With Crosshair checkbox is checked by default to
allow presentation a crosshair on the captured target. If the Save
Image With Crosshair is not checked, the photo does not save a
crosshair on the target.
