Defining Camera Properties

You can edit the camera properties for each image and define its characteristics.

  1. Drag the image in the Image Gallery.

    Notes:
    • When you load an image, the dialog box appears if the Warning on image drop option is selected in the Warnings section in the Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Digitized Shape > Photo to Shape > General. For more information, see Native Apps Preferences Guide: General
    • For images already loaded in the Image Gallery, the camera properties can be defined by selecting Camera Properties in the context menu of each image. For more information, see About Images Management.

  2. The 35mm focal length information is necessary for the reconstruction process. According to the information extracted from the image (exif data), do one of following actions in the Camera Properties Information dialog box:
    • If nothing is extracted from the image, a default value in the 35mm default focal length option from Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Digitized Shape > Photo to Shape > Reconstruction is set. To define another value, select it in the 35mm focal lenght list. For more information, see Native Apps Preferences Guide: Reconstruction
      Note: If you drag several images with the same camera properties, you can set the properties for the images in one go by selecting Do this for all similar.
    • If a 35 mm focal length is extracted from the image, click Reset From Exif to copy the content from the Exif Information area in the 35mm focal lenght field.
      Notes:
      • The Use image Exif data option must be select in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Digitized Shape > Photo to Shape > Reconstruction. For more information, see Native Apps Preferences Guide: Reconstruction
      • Another focal value can be selected in the 35mm focal lenght list.
    • If a focal length other than 35mm is extracted from the exif, select a type of camera.
      Notes:
      • A type of camera is automatically selected to get a 35mm focal length as close as possible from the 35mm focal length defined by default in the Preferences.
      • The focal value defined in the 35mm focal lenght list can be modified.
    • To not set the camera properties and use the default values, select Do not show again.
