I also use my digital camera to copy docs. If I am taking one from a
computer screen or anything with glass I do not use a flash. It isn't
necessary since it is
already lit.

I have even mastered the technique of photographing the display of a microfiche machine. I don't have a portable scanner, but I do have a standard sized scanner at home that I use quite a bit. For items that will not fit on the glass I use my trusty camera. > > -Joe Hurley> > Pamela Ward <> wrote: Has anyone ever used a hand-held scanner to copy stuff in a library?
