ABBYY® FineReader 15 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.
