Camera scanning uses a DSLR camera to capture photos, negatives, slides, scrapbooks, and other memorabilia into digital formats. When performed correctly with professional equipment and proper technique, camera scanning yields high-quality results that match or exceed those of traditional flatbed scanning in many situations.
Different types of materials require different scanning approaches. Camera scanning is particularly valuable for items that cannot or should not go through a traditional photo scanner. Unlike flatbed scanners, camera scanners have the ability to capture large items without any issues. It is particularly useful for oversized artwork, scrapbook pages, and posters.
Camera scanning is also beneficial for delicate materials. Camera systems are safe for digitizing fragile items like vintage photos, documents, love letters, and other material that might be damaged by a traditional scanner's pressure and feeding mechanism. The item is photographed from above while resting on a stable surface, eliminating any physical stress or handling that could damage it.
There are also certain projects that can benefit from camera scanning because of its increased efficiency. A camera system can handle large collections faster and maintain the same high-quality standards as traditional scanners when working with deadlines.
