Use Documents Mode to Straighten Photos

Images shot at an angle always suffer from the problem of perspective. If you aren't able to take a perfectly straight photo of a document, use Documents mode.

The camera will automatically adjust skewed images shot in Documents mode and remove shadows from them.

Shoot Photos in Documents Mode

  1. Go to Camera > More and select Documents mode.

    If the Documents option is not present in More, touch , then download Documents.

  2. Frame the document (such as a presentation slide or a poster) you want to shoot within the viewfinder, and touch the shutter button to take a photo.

  3. The camera will automatically identify the text area within the viewfinder, unskew the image, and remove any shadows.

Some devices do not support the removal of document shadows.
