<title>Take photos</title>
<p>Webcams can be used to take still photos as well as videos. To take a
photo:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Make sure that you are in <gui>Photo</gui> mode. If you are, the
<gui style="button">Photo</gui> button will be selected on the left side
of the screen.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click the <gui style="button">Take a photo using a webcam</gui>
button in the middle of the bottom panel, or press the
<key>Space</key> key, to take the photo.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>There will be a short countdown, followed by a flash, and the photo
will appear in the photo stream.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>The photos in the photo stream are automatically saved in the
<file>Pictures/Webcam</file> folder in your home folder. They are saved
using the JPEG (<file>.jpg</file>) format.</p>
<p>To cancel taking a photo after you have clicked <gui>Take a Photo</gui>,
press <key>Esc</key> before the countdown finishes.</p>
<note>
<p>To take multiple photos in rapid succession, use
<link xref="burst-mode"><gui>Burst</gui> mode</link>.</p>
