Employee's movement during shooting scenes

EasyMerch merges all photos taken within a single sales location into a Scene

For a scene to merge correctly, you must shoot in one of two ways: Left to Right (rows) or Top to Bottom (columns)

Left to Right (rows)

Start at the top left corner of the display, move right to the end of the display, move to the row below. Start the next row below the first photo of the first row, move right to the end of the display. The number of rows is unlimited

Top to Bottom (columns)

Start at the top left corner of the display, take a photo below the first photo, forming a column. Go back to the top, take a photo to the right of the first photo, then a photo below it, forming a column. Move in this way to the right until the end of the lay-out. The number of rows is limited to two, you can have as many columns as you like

Mini-map

Immediately after starting the camera, the shooting method Left to Right is used

The mini-map on the camera window shows the current progress of the scene and the shooting method. The photo that is being taken now is marked with a white flashing rectangle. The place to go is marked by a rectangle with a white border. Photos already taken are grayed out

Tap the mini-map to switch the shooting method. The white blinking rectangle and the rectangle with a white border swap places and you will see a notification. Tap the mini-map again to change the shooting method again

Tilt sensor

It is not recommended to take a photo with a large tilt in the camera with recognition. If the tilt is exceeded, you will see the tilt turn red, and if you try to take a photo, you will see a warning and no photo will be taken

Press the button below the alert or the tilt sensor button to turn it off. You will see a notification when you turn the tilt on or off

When the tilt sensor is off, it turns yellow if the tilt is exceeded. You can take a picture in this case

Flash

Turn the flash on to brighten photos. The flash button will turn green if the flash is currently on

Flashlight

Turn on the flashlight to get a constant light. The flashlight button will turn green if the flashlight is now on

Switching the camera to the front or main

Press the camera switch button if you want to change the camera to the front camera. Press the button again to return the main camera. It is not recommended to take photos with both the front and main camera in the same scene, as the photos may not merge properly into one scene

Grid

Click the grid button to display a markup on a third over the camera window to help you take smoother pictures. Click the button again to turn off the grid. The grid is retained when you open and close the camera

Crop

Before turning on the photo cropping mode, adjust the camera focus by tapping on the screen in the shooting area

Tap the photo crop button to turn on the mode when you select the desired area to take a photo. Move the area or change its size by pulling the corners. When the area is customized, take a photo.

Scene view mode-view photos that have been pre-overlaid and combined into a preliminary scene. This mode helps you evaluate overlapping photos during shooting

End-to-End view mode - view photos that are attached to each other without indentation, but joined together in a preliminary scene. This mode can help you evaluate the overlap between photos if Scene mode doesn't work for you for some reason

Reshooting a photo

Click the Reshoot button in the photo view to replace the photo. When you reshoot, you will see the location of the photo in the scene on the mini-map. After you take a new photo, the reshoot mode will immediately turn off and you will move on to continue shooting the scene
