Smart preview

At any moment, you will see thumbnails of the past shots, full preview of the current shots as well as the magnified view of area of interest simultaneously.

With just a quick glance, you are assured that images are sharp and up to the quality standard set.

Instant crop

After images are shot, you can decide to crop them right away in BookDrive Capture software. This functionality is handy if you are not interested in post image processing. There is also a keyboard shortcut for "crop and shoot" so that the cameras proceed with the scanning with your minimum effort.

Timed lapse capture

Turn on the Timed Lapse mode and the cameras will be triggered to fire automatically at every pre-defined intervals between 1-10 seconds, requiring you to simply flick through the pages. No button pressing.

Easy insert and replace

Don't sweat if you've skipped some pages. The program will let you go back to insert missing pages or replace the bad shots with better ones. You don't have to worry about its location and file name. The software will take care all of that for you (properly naming and renaming all the effected files).

In-software camera status and settings

Vital information such as camera battery status is displayed on the screen. Most camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture adjustments can be configured right within the software with just a click.

RAW (CR2) support

BookDrive Capture supports RAW (.CR2) format so you can capture the uncompressed, unprocessed pixel information straight from the camera's image sensor for highest quality images.

Metadata

The metadata of the books such as title, author's name and year published can be recorded in a standard compliant XML file for future use in search and record keeping.

Resume unfinished book

With fast resume, you can go right back to where you left off and quickly resume unfinished book from the previous session. The captured files will be saved in the same folder.
