## Media capture

### Photos someone else can check

- Photograph the product as it arrived, before you clean or open it. Keep wear, dirt and damage
visible. Note where it came from: repair, reuse, collection or recycling.
- Add a readable close-up of the model label, if there is one, next to an overview of the product.
- Photograph components and their connections before you detach them, where this is safe.
Attach each photo to the product or component it shows.
- Keep measurements apart from estimates, and say how you checked a name, material or value. A
software suggestion or a visual guess is not a measurement.

If a study asks for repeat photos, follow its protocol and keep the first capture. Note which
photos show the same item and what changed between them.

### Permission and privacy

Uploaded records and photos are public. Upload only photos you took yourself and may share. The
[privacy policy](https://r9lab.io/privacy/) and [contributor terms](https://r9lab.io/terms/) say
what that means, and the [dataset guide](../../project/dataset/) says which records a curated
release can include.

Keep faces, address labels, receipts and personal screens out of the frame, including in
reflections and the background. Keep make and model markings. Leave out owner details and serial
numbers, unless a study protocol asks for them and says how to share them.

R9lab removes identifying metadata from each photo (see [Upload limits](#upload-limits)), but not
what the photo itself shows. Crop or blur that before you upload. If you are not sure you may
share a photo, leave it out and ask <info@r9lab.io>.

### Attach your files

Attach media in two ways:

- manual upload of files and images
