6.15 Take a photo directly
Typically, you take photos (that is, capture still images) while recording or playing back a video. But you
can also take photos directly, without recording or playing a video. For example, a survey video may be
unnecessary because you only want to photograph a specific pipe defect.
Follow these steps:
1 Open an existing survey (
page 203
). Or create a new one (
page 198
).
Photos are saved as observations, and each observation must be associated with a survey.
2 Deploy the camera into the pipeline.
The camera feed is displayed on the controller screen. You can rotate the camera feed if necessary;
see
page 183

(Optional)
When the camera is in position and the image you want is displayed on the controller
screen, you can add overlay text and shapes to the image.
For example, you can add an arrow and explanatory caption. For instructions, see
page 186
