To make picture taking easier with MWSnap you can create a hotkey.
Go to Tools ---> Hotkeys. I placed mine on the F4
When you go to Tools ---> Settings ---> Auto-savings the preferred format to save your pics in is jpg. Then you can save the pics to a folder you created for africam pics. You can chose the number of pics you wish for before the count start at 1 again and you can add the date.
When all is done, you just select the cam and click away!
