REC Mode/Recording Techniques

Q34
If there any way to get a properly aligned image when recording a document or some other rectangular subject that is not straight?
A34
When the camera is at an angle to a business card, document, whiteboard, or other rectangular subject, one side of the subject in the recorded image may appear longer than the side opposite from it. This is called "keystoning", which is caused by the difference in distance from the camera lens to each side of the subject. The side of the subject that is closer to the camera looks longer and the side further from the camera looks shorter. Using the camera's Business Shot Mode automatically eliminates keystoning and gives a normal shape to rectangular subjects. Though the Business Shot Mode is able to eliminate the effects of moderate keystoning, certain conditions may make automatic keystone correction impossible.
Also note that the maximum Business Shot Mode image size is 1600 x 1200 pixels. If you have the camera configured to record larger size images, recording with the Business Shot Mode will produce a 1600 x 1200 size image. When the camera is configured to record images smaller than 1600 x 1200 pixels, the Business Shot Mode will produce images in accordance with the currently specified image size.
