Evanotypes are captured using special cameras. Early evanotype cameras were large and required the subject to stand still. The camera used by the [[kandra]] explorer [[ReLuur]] was a newer model that could take action pictures and was small enough to fit in ReLuur's pack.{{book ref|mb6|3}} It is not clear when evanotypes were invented, but by around {{date|330|PC}} they were relatively common, as people living in the [[Roughs]] had access to them.{{book ref|mb5|5}}

Evanotypes are taken using an ''evanotype camera''. The camera used by the [[kandra]] explorer [[ReLuur]] to take evanotypes is a newer model that does not require the subject to stand still, and is small enough to fit in ReLuur's pack.{{book ref|mb6|3}}

−
In {{date|342|PC}}, a new device known as an '''evanoscope''' was developed. It was an image projector that used lights to enlarge and display an evanotype on a given surface, such as a wall. Both [[Wayne]] and [[Marasi]] were shocked to see an evanoscope in action, and [[VenDell]] believed that they would be quite popular.{{book ref|mb6|3}}

Someone has developed an '''evanoscope''', an image projector that allows an image from an evanotype to be displayed on a given surface, which the kandra [[VenDell]] considers will be quite popular.{{book ref|mb6|3}}

[[Harmony]] let slip to the kandra the concept of moving images, although he refused to expand on the subject.{{book ref|mb6|3}}

[[Harmony]] has supposedly let slip to the kandra the concept of moving images, although he has not revealed to them how this can be done.{{book ref|mb6|3}}

*Evanotypes are presumably inspired by real-world photographic processes invented in the 19th century (such as the [[wikipedia:daguerrotype|daguerreotype]], [[wikipedia:Ambrotype|Ambrotype]], and [[wikipedia:tintype|tintype]]) that use metals and chemicals to create monochromatic images.
 +
Evanotypes are probably inspired by the real world ''daguerreotypes'', products of an early form of photographic process also called the daguerreotype. Just as the daguerreotype was named after its inventor, Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, evanotypes might be named after the Scadrian inventor responsible for them.
