ABBYY® FineReader 14 User’s Guide
Using a flash and additional lighting sources
· When using artificial lighting, use two light sources positioned so as to avoid shadows or glare.
· If there is enough light, turn the flash off to prevent sharp highlights and shadows. When using the
flash in poor lighting conditions, be sure to take photos from a distance of approximately 50 cm.
We advise against using the flash when taking pictures of documents printed on glossy paper.
Compare an image with glare and a good quality image:
If the image is too dark
· Set a lower aperture value to open up the aperture.
· Set a higher ISO value.
· Use manual focus, as automatic focus may fail in poor lighting conditions.
Compare an image that is too dark with a good quality image:
Taking photos
To obtain good quality photos of documents, be sure to position the camera correctly and follow these
simple recommendations.
· Use a tripod whenever possible.
· The lens should be positioned parallel to the page. The distance between the camera and the
document should be selected so that the entire page fits within the frame when you zoom in. In
most cases, this distance will be between 50 and 60 cm.
