# How to deal with tight angles

## How to deal with tight angles

Tight angles make it harder to capture clear panels and can reduce scan quality.\
Where possible, avoid them.

***

### 1) Avoid tight angles where you can

If you have the option, give yourself more space around the vehicle before you start.

Space is the single biggest factor in getting clean, usable images. [prepare-your-vehicle-and-environment](https://wondle.gitbook.io/wondle-user-guide/welcome-to-wondle/preparing_your_vehicle_for_assessment/prepare-your-vehicle-and-environment "mention")

### 2) If tight angles are unavoidable, do your best and use verification to clean up

Sometimes you simply can’t get the ideal shot (tight driveway, wall, other cars).

In these cases:

* Capture as much of the **panel** as you can
* Follow the guided framing as closely as possible
* Don’t worry if the image isn’t perfect — you can fix the situation later

At the **verification stage**, you can select that panel and **add damage manually**, even if the photo is not great.

You’ll be able to enter:

* The **location** on the vehicle
* The **damage type**
* The **severity**

This lets you effectively say:\
“I know it’s hard to see in this photo, but I can confirm there’s a small scratch here.”

### 3) When it really is not worth continuing

If a tight angle means the camera **cannot see the panel**, the scan can’t confirm what’s there.

If **there is damage** but the angle won’t show it:

* Wondle won’t be able to evidence it
* Your **Mobility Provider** won’t be able to evidence it from the photos either

It will get reviewed and assessed by a professional Vehicle Damage Assessor upon collection for repair costs.

If the camera can’t see the part, the scan can’t confirm it and it will have to be manually reviewed.
