Q1 multiple-choice · interface How many main areas does the CAPP Capture interface have?
Explanation: The Capture interface has 4 main areas : Item information, Folders/frames/images, Hardware configuration, Sequence control. Operators cycle between these throughout a shoot — spatial memory of where each area sits = speed.
Q2 multiple-choice · hierarchy What is the correct nesting order of PhotoRobot data structures?
Explanation: Project (top) contains one or more Items. Each Item contains one or more Folders (Spin / Stills / Video). Each Folder contains Frames. A Frame holds the angle config + Original image + Edited image. This hierarchy was introduced in m01 and is foundational for the Capture interface.
Q3 multiple-choice · item-creation Which item creation path is most appropriate for a continuous production line where items are scanned as they enter the photoshoot bay?
Explanation: The auto-create-via-barcode setting enables identification at point-of-capture. Operator scans an unknown barcode → CAPP auto-creates an item named after the scanned string. This is canonical for continuous-production workflows (warehouse-style). Manual = one-off. CSV import = batch with prior data. Auto-create = zero pre-creation work, scan-and-shoot.
Q4 multiple-choice · folders Which of the following are the three folder types in CAPP?
Explanation: Folder types are Spin (360° / 3D rotation series), Stills (individual still images), Video (360° video clips, animations). Each folder type contains frames; one item can have multiple folders of different types (e.g., e-shop wants both spin + hero still for same product → 1 item with 2 folders).
Q5 scenario · sequence-options · weight 2 An operator is shooting 500 lightweight handbag SKUs with PhotoRobot shutter cable connected to a Canon DSLR. CSV import with item dimensions is in place. Shutter cable is in Slot 2. Production deadline is end of day. Which sequence options should the operator enable?
A) Normal mode, Pause on frame ON, Edit auto OFF, Elevate auto OFF
B) Fast-shot, Pause off, Edit auto ON, Elevate auto ON
C) Normal mode, Pause off, Edit auto OFF, Elevate auto ON
D) Fast-shot, Pause on frame ON, Edit auto ON, Elevate auto OFF
Explanation: Production volume with shutter cable + lightweight stable objects = Fast-shot for speed (3-4 frames/sec instead of 1/sec). Pause off for continuous flow. Edit auto on to apply background removal + crop immediately. Elevate auto on since CSV provides dimensions (CAPP calculates camera elevation per item). All four toggles are tuned for maximum throughput.
Q6 true-false · spin-rows Capturing a Spin folder with multiple rows at different swing angles enables 3D model generation via photogrammetry.
Explanation: Single-row Spin = 360° viewer (rotation only). Multi-row Spin = different swing angles (camera vertical positions) per row → enables photogrammetry 3D model generation via CAPP’s Create 3D model feature. Industry standard: 3-5 rows for 3D modeling. Single-row is for standard e-commerce 360 viewers; multi-row is for AR / VR / configurator use cases.
Q7 multiple-choice · freemask What is the Freemask background removal approach in PhotoRobot?
Explanation: Freemask = two-image capture : main (normal front lighting) + mask (back lighting → silhouette). CAPP composites them into a transparent-background result. Works best when lights can switch cleanly (front off + back on for mask) and object has clear silhouette. Enabled via the Mask checkbox on the right-side panel. Dramatic time-saver vs. manual masking for e-commerce volume.
Q8 multiple-choice · hardware-movements What does the Swing movement of a PhotoRobot device control?
Explanation: Three robot movements: Turn = horizontal rotation, Swing = camera’s vertical angle (0° level → 90° top-down), Lift = camera elevation. Swing requires hardware that can change camera angle (Robotic Arm V8, Frame). Fixed-mount cameras on a Cube can’t swing — angle must be set manually at workspace setup (m05).
Q9 multiple-choice · calibration When is Calibration mandatory before configuring robot movement?
Explanation: Calibration sets the robot’s internal zero / reference position . Without calibration, angle inputs (Turn / Swing / Lift) are relative to the current physical position — leading to misaligned spins. Always run Calibration before first-time movement configuration. The 5 seconds of calibration saves you from re-shooting a 10-minute spin that drifted out of alignment.
Q10 multiple-choice · presets Which of the following is NOT a valid way to assign a preset to items in CAPP?
Explanation: The three valid preset assignment methods are: (A) per-item drop-down or hotkey P, (B) at item creation in Add item dialog, © bulk-assign from Items menu. Option D (right-click on workspace) doesn’t exist. Bonus: CSV import can include preset per row — also a valid bulk method via CSV column.
Q11 scenario · status-workflow · weight 2 A team has 3 roles: a photographer (captures items), an editor (post-processes), a reviewer (verifies quality). They want to coordinate without slack channels or spreadsheets. How does CAPP’s item status filter enable this?
Explanation: Item status filter enables an internal kanban workflow. Status values: Captured / Edited / Verified / Approved / Rejected. Each team role filters to relevant status → works on those items → updates status → next role picks up. This eliminates the “is this item ready for editing?” coordination overhead. Built-in workflow infrastructure, no external tools needed.
Q12 multiple-select · folder-menu · weight 2 Which of the following are valid actions in the Folder menu? (Select all that apply.)
Add / Delete / Edit folder
Copy / Move frames between folders
Import images (upload your own images, e.g., handheld shots)
Create 3D model (generate 3D model from spin images — macOS only)
Sell item directly to e-shop
Print physical photo prints from CAPP
Pool size: 12 questions. Drawn for module check: 5. Drawn for cert exam: operator 13% (highest weight — capture is THE daily action).
Mixed types: 7× multiple-choice, 1× true-false, 1× multiple-select, 3× scenario.
Topic tags: interface, hierarchy, item-creation, folders, sequence-options, spin-rows, freemask, hardware-movements, calibration, presets, status-workflow, folder-menu.
All questions cite Capturing Images with PhotoRobot as canonical source.
Status draft — awaiting KH review.
Explanation: Valid folder menu actions: Add/Delete/Edit folder, Copy/Move frames, Delete frames, Send for retouch, Activity log, Import images, Create 3D model (macOS only). Selling and physical printing are NOT CAPP functions — those happen elsewhere in the workflow (e-shop platform, external print service). PhotoRobot’s scope ends at digital asset production + delivery.
