In version 0.4 you will find more screen shot related fatures.
2. Screen capture timer

The timer is used to capture interface elements that must be active when you take a screen shot. For example, expanded menus and tooltips.
The timer has 3 modes:
- Off (default) - timer is inactive. The UseShots Camera captures the screen area inside the red frame the same moment you press “Shoot”.
- 5s - Timer is active. The screen shots is taken 5 seconds after you press “Shoot”.
- 10s - Timer is active. The screen shots is taken 10 seconds after you press “Shoot”.
3. How to use the screen capture timer?
- Position the UseShots Camera so that the desired area of the screen is inside the red frame.
- Make sure the element that you want to capture (expanded menu, tooltip, etc.) is also inside the frame.
- Select the delay time (either 5s or 10s). Make sure this time is enough to activate the desired element.
- Press “Shoot”. You wil see a countdown next to the “Shoot” button.
- Activate the element.When the countdown is over the screen shot will be taken and inserted into the current screen of the UseShots Editor.
Hint: I can use your mouse inside the red frame of the UseShots Camera as if this area was a hole.
