A photojournalist in the field can be equipped with a portable kit that includes a digital camera and a portable PC, which enables photojournalists to report photos immediately. Photos are captured using the digital camera where the photo will be saved as a file within the memory of the camera.
Photos are now ready for transmission to sub-scribers.
It takes only a few minutes from the moment of capturing a photo to transmitting it to subscribers. These scanners can be used also when the photojournalist is equipped with a normal camera rather than a digital camera. Transmitting Photos Photos can be transmitted to subscribers through the available communication lines such as telephone lines. Transmission can be as soon as possible or it can be programmed to start at a previously set time. Received photos are indexed and stored automatically in the database.
