A camera listing needs more than a model name.
Lens markings, battery contacts, cosmetic wear and missing accessories can all change how a buyer understands an item. These examples show how photos and seller-supplied facts contribute different parts of the listing.
Each example below pairs the original images with the inputs used by Capture and excerpts of the generated output. The complete export is available alongside each one.
01 / Vintage rangefinder

1 / 8Zorki 1
Look beyond the markings.
A vintage camera can carry more than one identity. This Zorki has an Industar-22 lens with additional Elmar and Ernst Leitz markings on the barrel. The listing records those markings while explicitly identifying the item as a Zorki with an Industar-22, rather than presenting it as a Leica.
From the generated listing
The lens barrel also carries "Elmar 5cm" and "Ernst Leitz GmbH Wetzlar Germany" markings. These markings are noted for accuracy; this is being listed as a Zorki camera with an Industar-22 lens, not as a Leica camera or Leica lens.
Identity, visible wear and the limits of the optical assessment all make it into the description.

What these examples show
Photograph the detail. Confirm the facts.
The Zorki example records conflicting markings. The Mju I carries a battery-contact check into the description. The PEN kit makes included accessories and exclusions explicit. Each listing reflects a different set of details, rather than repeating the same generic camera description.
Testing status comes from the seller’s guidance and answers. These exports show how Capture combines that context with the images; the generation times are observations from these three examples.
