# Capturing Observations

### Start Capturing

{% hint style="info" %}
A minimum of 3 images are required. It would be nice to get at least 5 – 6 images.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
It is very important that the camera and image for each single capture doesn’t move any more, to make sure that the captured image and the incoming tracking data really belong together.
{% endhint %}

To capture an image click on the icon: ![](/files/1dEIAzHkElrDSMzB1TAS)

![](/files/ztMkCey06LFwDjtQ1eEe)

Once images have been captured, you can click on the observation button to see what images have been saved.

![](/files/8dyehCbD7FYV1a81hSVO)

Move the camera around within the desired tracking zone on all axis and capture more images.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is important to go to the edge of your tracking space as much as possible while maintaining good tracking data.\
It is also important to change the pan and tilt as much as possible when taking these captures.
{% endhint %}

If you are not happy with some of the images that have been captured, you can delete the image by highlighting the image and pressing “del”; or you can right click on an image and “disable the image”.

There are also options to “Reanalyze” images if you are reopening a previous project with captured images to relink the files, or the option to import images manually if these images were captured remotely.
