A pen that aims at laser irradiation and photographs can be taken and recorded Pens "NOTEMARK" review

A gadget like a spy item that irradiates a frame with a laser pen from a ballpoint pen and shoots objects within that range is called "EVERNOTE link pen NOTEMARK"is. Although the flashy of the laser gimmick is obvious, I decided to check actually while purchasing and touching with petapeta as I was concerned about image quality and ease of use at the time of shooting.

◆ Photo review

The package looks something like this.


Besides the pen, the case and the instruction manual.


The case is a simple one to insert a pen and store it.


The size of the pen body is 155 mm in diameter and 20 mm in diameter, and it is like this when holding it with the hand of an adult man.



From the top, the camera, laser irradiation section, LED light.


The finger grip part is quite thick, but since the rubber cover is on it holds firmly.


When you twist the tip, the pen tip comes out.


It is like this when used as a pen.


To turn on the power turn on the switch behind the main unit OK.


Press the button with a document icon on the left side of the photo halfway to irradiate the laser frame, then press the button to release the shutter.


Recording is possible by pressing the microphone icon button.


When twisting the middle part of the pen and opening it, the USB terminal appeared from inside.


Connect to the PC as below to exchange data and charge.


◆ I tried using

The situation of shooting is as follows.


The pictures actually taken with NOTEMARK are as follows. This picture was taken in a bright place under fluorescent lighting. Moreover, because it does not have camera shake correction etc, it will become a photograph which can not read illegible letters etc unless it holds properly as it is.


Although the resolution is 2048 × 1536 dots, even if shooting in places with sufficient brightness it is comparatively dark finish.


The procedure for importing photos into Evernote for Windows is as follows.

Click "Tools"


Click "Import Folder"


Click "Add"


Select the folder and click "OK"


Then you can import photos in bulk like this


In addition, linking with Evernote is not mandatory, since it is recognized as a USB memory if connected to a PC, take out the image in the folder freely and treat it like the shooting data of a general digital camera can do.


So, I can not expect the same image quality as a digital camera, but it is recommended for people who want gimmick's fun.
