"\n• Capture as similar a field of view as possible by the test devices." +
"\n" +
"\nWhile capturing the exact field of view is not necessary, we ask that the user ensure that the field of view is as similar as possible by following the following guidelines:" +
"\n• You might have to move closer or further from the object when switching between devices in order to ensure that a similar field of view is captured." +
"\n• When capturing photos of objects against a flat background, ensure that the objects are fully captured in the images taken by all test devices." +
"\n• Make sure you do not add objects into the field of view of one device that are not included in the field of view of another device. ";
