The SMX-150M camera application enables you to capture images from the camera and
to store them in BMP or TIFF format files. You can also save files with video that you
record.
Capturing Images
To capture frames:
1 Start video (press F5 or the button Start Video in the toolbar).
2 You can capture a single frame or a frame sequence:
● For a single frame press F2 or the button in the toolbar
● For a sequence press F3 or the button in the toolbar.
3 The frame/frame sequence is captured immediately and saved in the folder specified
in Capture Options (see
“Saving Options” on page 55 ).

average.
