3.3Entering a Comment on the Image

You can enter a comment on the overlay of an image by using the pen drawing, count marking, or text function.

An overlay can be placed on top of a live image. If you do not want the image and a comment to be mismatched, use the freeze button to freeze the image before entering a comment.

3.3.1Free-form Drawing

The pen function allows you to draw a free-form curve on the image.

NOTE: You need a mouse to use this function.

1） Press Pen . The tool bar shown below will be displayed.

2)Press the red, blue, green, black, white, or yellow color icon to determine the color of the pen.

3)Click at the starting point and hold down the mouse button while you drag, and the locus of the pointer will be drawn.

If you failed to draw, use Clear to erase the locus you’ve now entered. In this case, what you’ve drawn with the pen will be lost unless you have already pasted.

4)After drawing, press Paste to fix what you’ve drawn as valid data.

5)Press to return to the menu in which you previously were. Anything you’ve drawn will be erased unless you have pasted. Once the content is fixed as valid, you cannot erase without erasing the entire overlay.
