The cameras resolution can be changed based on the users
needs. For scanning purposes, a low resolution (ie: 640 x 480)
will allow for higher or faster frame rates. This will give a
smooth image when scanning evidence. When an image is
located which needs to be photographed, change the
resolution of the camera to a higher resolution (5M: 2560 x
1920).
NOTE: you can scan at any resolution, however the
lower the resolution, the faster and smoother the image.
