times to learn the timing of the moment you want.
Line up the shot
using the mouse. Hold the left mouse button to spin around
the avatar and zoom in and out. Hold the right mouse button
to pan up down left and right. If you can't get close enough
for product detail shots you can usually trick the camera
closer by a combination of rotating slightly off the subject
then panning to it and rotating back.
Take the shot by
using the computer's imbedded screen capture function. Hold
down the 'Alt' key and when you see the shot hit the 'Prt
Scr' button (located upper right area of keyboard). That will
copy the active window to your computers clipboard. Go to
your paint program and paste the new image in. Paint users
just hit paste. Photoshop users use 'File' 'New' it will default

then paste into the window.
Save the image
to your computer for future editing.
If you will be
taking many screenshots you may want to look into a screenshot
program. There are many free ones available on the web.
