The other three buttons are a quick access to the three most important functionalities. For more information about the specific features please refer to the linked guides:

Taking Snapshots

If you want to take a picture with the HoloLens, press the Snapshot Button on the Hand Menu.

Once pressed, a countdown counting down from 3 to 0 will appear directly in front of you. This gives you some time to accurately position your field of view on the scene, that you want to photograph. When the countdown has reached 0, the picture will be taken.

Triggering the camera might take a few seconds and is visualized through a flashing red camera icon at the corner of your vision. Please hold still while this process is taking place. Once the confirmation message appears, you can move around again.

The Snapshot will be automatically sent to the Spectator and added to the Media Library.
