when recording the image of a business card, document,
whiteboard, or similar subjects from an angle.
•Coupling Shot and Pre-shot (pages 87, 89)
Coupling Shot lets you combine two subjects into a single

if you are the only two people around.

•Album Function (page 175)
HTML files are generated automatically to create an
album of recorded images. Album contents can be viewed
and printed using a standard Web browser. Images can

A simple operation displays a full-month calendar on the
camera’s monitor screen. Each day of the full-month
calendar shows a thumbnail of the first file recorded for
that date, which helps to make searching for a particular
file quicker and easier.
