Check the live camera and a full-size test image before starting the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A useful field photo should answer three questions quickly: what is shown, where was it recorded, and what stage of the work does it represent. WorkMark Camera prints visible date, time, GPS coordinates, address, weather and a short note during capture so that context stays with the image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The watermark is practical supporting context. It is not a guarantee of attendance, quality, responsibility, legal validity or protection from every kind of manipulation. Keep the normal work order, inspection form, test result, signature or incident report whenever the process requires one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Quick answer\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Decide the purpose and required viewpoints before opening the camera.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Begin with a wide view, then add a medium view and a close detail.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Use one short note pattern for the whole job and update it when the subject changes.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Keep the original file and connect it to the relevant job, asset or report.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Ch2>Why this record matters\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Photos become hard to use when the reviewer cannot identify the place, subject or stage. A deliberate sequence reduces follow-up questions and makes later comparison easier. The goal is not to photograph everything; it is to capture the minimum set that lets another person understand what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before taking pictures, identify the decision the images will support. A supervisor may be checking progress, a tenant may be recording condition, or a technician may need to find the same component later. The intended decision determines the subject, angle, note and number of photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this workflow, a useful note is: \u003Ccode>Service call \u002F pump room \u002F test capture\u003C\u002Fcode>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>A practical photo method\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Ch3>Confirm the active template\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Switch to the intended work template and verify that its fields are enabled before taking the photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Check visibility and placement\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Low opacity, matching colors or a stamp outside the useful crop can make the watermark appear missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Open the saved original\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>A gallery thumbnail or edited export may not show the same result.

Do not assume earlier photos were updated retroactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Build a repeatable sequence\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Start with an establishing view that identifies the site or work area without exposing unrelated private information. Move closer only after the location is understandable. If two conditions will be compared, keep the orientation, distance, zoom and lighting as similar as practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Use the note pattern project or site \u002F area \u002F task \u002F stage. Short, consistent notes are easier to scan than sentences. Never include passwords, access codes, full customer names, phone numbers or confidential instructions because the text may remain visible on every shared copy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capture exceptions separately from successful completion. A pending item should not be mixed into a collage labeled complete.

Adjust the note, opacity, font color and width so the stamp is readable without hiding the subject.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>If the address is wrong, tap Locate. Choose or search for a nearby place; a result more than 300 metres away cannot be selected.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Check the phone clock, time zone and location before the first important image. WorkMark uses the system time and does not detect a deliberately changed clock or simulated position.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Take one test photo at full resolution.
