| Other pointers, such as those that are used commonly with Northern Digital cameras require a separate external trigger, or the user must identify the events manually, which actually isn't a terrible burden because it is necessary to verify the events even when the process is automatic. Verification is required because the user may change their mind and choose to digitize the same landmark twice (e.g. because the tip slipped on the first attempt). The result is that this erroneous event must be deleted. | Other pointers, such as those that are used commonly with Northern Digital cameras require a separate external trigger, or the user must identify the events manually, which actually isn't a terrible burden because it is necessary to verify the events even when the process is automatic.
