This is going to sound really **bleep**.  I have figured out how to take a picture, at least I think I have.  I tap camera, point and press the red button on the side.  I see the LEDs flash, but where does the picture go?  I have looked in the gallery and there are never any pics there.  And there is no option to save it after you take it.  Can anyone help me out with the proper procedure (cuz obviously I don't know it) to take and SAVE the picture.

 

Thanks for your time,

-Tim

It took me a couple tries to get this as well.  You actually have to hold the camera button for a second, you will hear a camera shutter sound when it takes the picture.  If you just tap it, the flash will go off, but no picture will be taken.  I think it the quick tap just sets the auto-focus into motion.

 

edit: on second look, there are actually two levels of depressing the camera button, you should feel two distinct clicks as you press it, the first stop position enables the auto-focus once you hear two beeps and the reticule turns red the focus is done, pressing the button all the way in takes the picture.

Thanks for the reply.  That's the ticket.  I guess I just needed to be a bit more patient.  By the way, did you know that "s i l l y" is a bleep-able word.  That was the word that got bleeped out of my post.
