Count

Tap "Count" to initiate counting.
To restrict counting to a specific area of the photo, tap "Count Area" to show the menu for defining the count area. Do this before you tap "Count".

If you do not need to define the area and you do not need to use any of the tools available in the "Prepare" screen, you have the option to change the settings to skip this section. Go to Settings->General Settings->Workflow turn off Show "Prepare" Screen.
