4. Captions on left side
   • Click the notepad with a star button to create a new caption
     • Type stuff you want it to say! Example:

     • All those {dd} etc. things will show the date and time the pic was taken. Nifty, ne?

6. When you're done, finally click OK to the preferences! You should only have to do that once.

From the action menu, you can use the Start interval upload or Stop interval upload to make it start or stop the timer. It'll keep uploading images as you set it to for as long as that's on and the program's open. Also note that closing the program leaves it open in the system tray, you'll have to right-click that to close it completely.

If you want to see a realtime preview, you can select Preview from the Camera menu.
