Abstract
A processor within a digital camera which generates and utilizes a recipe data file and communicates with a network-based storage location for uploading and downloading. The recipe data file contains both a device setting template component, used to set camera-specific parameters, and an instructional component, which the processor uses to generate visual and audible instructions for positioning and aiming the camera. Visual instructions are provided directly on the viewfinder display. The processor uses on-board GPS and compass or gyroscope to obtain real-time position and pointing direction of the camera.
