Take screenshots with the PS4

There are often spectacular scenes that deserve a screenshot. You can easily record these on the PS4. Recording videos is also part of the PS4 repertoire:

1. Start a game as usual and press the "SHARE" button for a screenshot for approx. 2 seconds.
2. A sign in the upper right corner shows whether the screenshot was successfully taken.
3. If you want to record a video clip, press the "SHARE" button twice in succession.
4. To stop video recording, press the "SHARE" button twice again.
5. The start and end of the video recording is illustrated by an icon with a red dot in the upper right corner.
6. To view the screenshots or videos, press up in the PS4's home menu. Then select the menu item "Profile" and then "Recordings" (see picture).
7. In the next window you will see all of your recordings. Under "All" you can view clips and images in a folder regardless of the game. Otherwise, the screenshots and videos are sorted by games.
