Using your Smart Imaging Stand
Shooting photos and videos
After you connect the Smart Imaging Stand with an Android phone, you are ready to
take photos and record videos.
To take a photo
1
Fasten the Android™ phone onto the phone holder so that the phone screen
faces the power indicator.
2
Connect your Smart Imaging Stand with the phone.
3
If the Smile Catcher application does not open automatically, select Smile
Catcher from the pop-up list.
4
The phone camera automatically starts to locate and follow your face.
5
Tap the photo capture button on the phone screen. The phone camera is ready
to take a photo.
6
Stay in a stable position and smile. The phone camera takes a photo of your
face automatically when it detects a smile.
Your phone camera captures a photo only when the target is stable and smiling.
After taking two photos of the same target person, the Smart Imaging Stand automatically
stops following its target and searches for another target.
If you want the Smile Catcher application to always launch automatically in step 3, you can
mark it as your preferred application in the Smart Imaging Stand application settings.
To record videos
1
Fasten the Android™ phone onto the phone holder so that the phone screen
faces the power indicator.
2
Connect your Smart Imaging Stand with the Android™ phone.
3
If the Smile Catcher application does not open automatically, select Smile
Catcher from the pop-up list.
4
The phone camera automatically starts to locate and follow your face.
5
Switch the phone camera to video mode, then tap the record button on the
camera screen. The video camera now records and follows your face.
If you want the Smile Catcher application to always launch automatically in step 3, you can
mark it as your preferred application in the Smart Imaging Stand application settings.
To switch the camera target to another person
1
When the video or still camera is following you, wave your hand to the left or
right.
2
The Smart Imaging Stand rotates accordingly to locate and follow a different
target, that is, a person to your left or right side.
When waving your hand, make sure your hand is within view of the camera viewfinder.
Improving the accuracy of face recognition
The Smile Catcher application, which gets installed when you install the Smart
Imaging Stand application, uses face recognition technology. The application may fail
to operate as expected in conditions where it is difficult to recognise your face, for
example, when you are in a dark environment or when you are wearing a scarf or
headwear that partially covers your face.
