If the Refresh Rate is set to ten, the image will be retrieved every ten seconds. To load the image only once, set the Refresh Rate to -1.
The Fade option (Figure 9.8) is an on/off switch specific to webcam images. This option transitions each image into the next one by displaying ten percent or more of the next image every 0.05 seconds, until the full picture is shown. This gives a smooth motion display of an image.
