With the continuous advancement of technology, our smartphones are becoming more and more powerful, and the iPhone, as one of the best, is naturally no exception. In the latest iOS system, the iPhone has added a function called "Rangefinder", which allows us to easily measure the size of objects through our mobile phone. Below, I will give you a detailed description of how to use this feature.
First, the use of rangefinder applications.
First, open the Rangefinder app on your iPhone. The app is available for free in the App Store**. Once you open the app, you'll see a neat interface with a white box on it. This box is used for autofocus to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.
2. Align with the measurement target.
Next, point your iPhone's rear camera at the object you want to measure the length of. Make sure that the camera is parallel to the measurement target so that the measurement results are accurate. Tap the white box on the screen to autofocus, and the rangefinder will automatically measure the size of the object and display specific length and width data. If the object is rectangular, the rangefinder automatically recognizes and displays the dimensions;If it's not a rectangular object, you'll need to manually set the start and end points of the measurement.
3. Move your iPhone to complete the measurement.
During the measurement, you can move your iPhone so that the size you want to calculate is inside the measurement frame. If the size of the object is out of the range of the screen, move your iPhone slowly until the entire object enters the measuring frame. This way, you can easily measure the length, width, and height of the object.
4. Save the measurement results.
To save your measurements, tap the shutter button on the screen. This way, you can view and share your measurements at any time. In addition, the rangefinder also supports a variety of unit switching, including centimeters, meters, inches, and feet, so you can choose according to your needs.
5. Precautions.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the measurement, please note the following:
Keep the camera parallel to the measurement target;
Make sure the entire object is inside the measuring frame;
Measure in a well-lit environment;
For non-rectangular objects, manually set the start and end points of the measurement.
Through the above steps, I believe you have mastered how to use the rangefinder function of iPhone to measure the size. This feature is not only convenient and fast, but also quite accurate. Whether it's a daily item in your life or a professional device at work, with your iPhone and Rangefinder app, you can easily grasp the size of an object anytime, anywhere.
