When should I press the capture button?
Press and hold it only while athletes are crossing the finish line, and release it to stop. Autocrop removes the blank stretches afterwards.

- Can I use the keyboard to toggle capture? — Yes, as a backup: set the capture button to Keyboard in File | Options | General and tap the spacebar on and off. It's easy to lose track of, so the button is better.
- Why does the running time keep going after the last finisher? — That's normal. Once FinishLynx receives the start, the Running Time box counts until the next event. Don't reset the clock inside the event.
