Screenshot

A screenshot (also known as screen capture or screen grab) is image that shows the contents of a computer display. A screenshot is created by a (film) camera recording the screen or the operating system or software running on the device powering the display.[1][2]

The other process of taking still frames, images from video or film, is sometimes called still screenshots, screen captures or screen grabs.[3][4]
