  <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>
