  • The Camera is now Calibrated and will remain calibrated as long as the camera is not physically moved.

  • If the Camera or Camera Mount is moved, the entire procedure must be repeated.

  • When saving a project to the database or to a file, the Scale Setting is saved with the project.

  • Thus, if using different zoom points and recalling a project from storage may require the Scale to be set again for the next new project started.

  • For Fixed Zoom, the software only remembers One Scale Value and that value will be changed when loading a prior project from storage.
