The Capture Menu is used to capture the image by using the e-CAMView application. It can also 
be  used  to  select  the  Still  image  capture  path  where  the  images  will  be  saved.  By  default  the       
e-CAMView  will  set  the  Desktop  as  the  image  storage  path  for  easy  access,  but  the  user  can 
change to any location by using the still path option.  
 
To  take  an  image  the  user  can  either  click  the 

Get  Still 

option  of  press  the 

Enter

  key  of  the 

keyboard. The image will be captured and stored in the location specified by the user. 
 

Note1

: Before taking a still image the still pin properties should be set to get the optimal image.
