The Capture tab (Shoot on iPhone) controls the camera without Live View. It follows the camera's photo or video mode and shows exposure, white balance, focus and Picture Control, with Remote Shooting in photo mode and Movie Recording in video mode.

## Take photos

- **Take Photo** releases the shutter.
- **AE-L** locks exposure. **AF-ON** starts autofocus and holds it until you tap it again.
- To use the self-timer, touch and hold Take Photo and choose 3, 5 or 10 seconds. Zensō counts down, then releases the shutter.
- The release mode menu sets the camera's release mode, and lists the special shooting modes the camera supports.

## Bulb exposures

### 1. Turn on Bulb Shooting

In photo mode, tap Shutter and turn on Bulb Shooting. If it's dimmed, the camera's current exposure mode doesn't allow it.

### 2. Start the exposure

Tap Start Bulb Exposure. The button shows the time elapsed.

### 3. End it

Tap the button again to close the shutter.

## Interval Timer, Focus Shift and Pixel Shift

On cameras that support them, these are under Special Shooting in the release mode menu. Choose one, then tap Start Interval, Start Focus Shift or Start Pixel Shift. While it runs, Zensō shows its status and how many files have arrived. Tap the Stop button to end it early.

- Interval Timer and Focus Shift run with the settings in the camera's menus.
- For Pixel Shift, choose Pixel Shift Mode, Shots, Delay and Interval in Zensō before you start. Turn Pixel Shift off before you start an interval or focus shift sequence.

## Record video

Switch the camera to video mode. Movie Recording shows Start Recording, the recording time, remaining capacity, battery and the video settings. You can also record from the shutter in [Live View](https://shisheng.dev/zenso/docs/live-view).
