Sunny Day, dark mode, it works pretty well. ![MIRACO Outdoor Scan Picture](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/3X/f/9/f93db349eb7e944722c4d19e68df9b7133b0550e.jpeg) ---

in near mode yes I was able to scan direct in sunlight , but far mode struggles in this light condition it needs to be in deep shadows . The lighting condition above looks like 7pm so very safe to scan outdoors . ---

I was curious as to the time of day, since those lights along the walkway are pretty well exposed and nothing seems to cast a shadow. 🙂 Edit: 7pm is exactly right, it’s in the timestamp project name. ---

There was weak sunlight where we scanned, and it was possible to scan in dark mode. If possible, we recommend that you choose a shady spot far away from direct sunlight as it increases the chances of success. ---

Is it possible to scan larger area like rows of trees on a far? ---

Hi @kevinrez No, that is not a scanner for this kind of scans. You will be better off with photogrammetry
