Do you mind saying which MSC this is, OP? I really need to avoid them!
I have run across weird requirement before, date and time stamps. I always take the time to explain that my date/time stamp is set on Jan 1, 2005, and I have no idea how to change it. One MSC walked me through changing it -- but after every single photo session, when I turned the camera back on, it reverted to Jan 1, 2005. No way am I resetting time/date stamp 40 or 50 times in a day! (My camera automatically shuts off a few seconds after taking a photo. )
And I have so MUCH trouble with apps -- almost any app -- in rural areas without cellular network coverage. I live/work in the 1% of the country that lacks coverage! I can't even get GPSVerify to work.
I guess I could take photos with my phone, not my digital camera, but I've never figured out how to get them from the phone to the report.

And I have run across guidelines asking shoppers not to use cell phone photos as they come across as "thumbprint size" and the client won't accept them.
How old a phone do you have? The camera app should have an option for the default resolution to take the pictures in. Unless you have it set to something incredibly low and have an old phone, it should be fine.@ceasesmith wrote:
Frankly, pictures on my cell phone are so danged small I can't tell if I have the detail required, like for infractions. And even when the photo looks perfect when I'm looking at it before I hit the "photo" button, sometimes later I see the top or bottom of the photo is cut off.

Complaints about apps not working on phones strikes me as lame. There are multiple apps available that provide time/date stamp functionality. Shouldn't be that hard to find one that will work on just about any fairly recent smartphone.
