Overview of taking a photo

In ArcPad, there are two methods to take a photo with the digital camera connected to your mobile device:

• By using the Camera tool located on the Tools dropdown menu, on the Main toolbar. This Camera tool is used to take a stand alone photo, that is a photo which is not associated with a feature.
• By using the Camera tool located on the Picture page of the Feature Properties dialog box. This Camera tool is used to take a photo which is associated with a feature. The photo filename is stored as an attribute in the selected field of the feature.

When activated, both of the Camera tools open the same dialog box for interacting with your digital camera and for taking the photos.The camera dialog box will vary according to the camera driver selected in the ArcPad Options.
