Introduction
------------

  This article describes how to remove "Figure" from captions of
  figures when using LaTeX beamer for presentations.

Pure beamer solution
--------------------

  Change the caption template to
  
    \setbeamertemplate{caption}{\insertcaption}
  
  or

    \setbeamertemplate{caption}{\raggedright\insertcaption\par}


Solution when using the subfig package
--------------------------------------

  The subfig package uses the caption package. See the solution using
  the caption package.

Solution using the caption package
----------------------------------

  The pure beamer solution does not work when one is using the caption
  package. The solution for the caption package is
  
    \captionsetup[figure]{labelformat=empty}
