If you’re like most people, you take screenshots of your games to remember them for later. But if you’re like me, you also take screenshots of the game itself to share with friends and family. But what if you want to take screenshots of the game in a more efficient way? What if you want to take screenshots that are faster and easier to use? Well, then this is the article for you! In this article, we will be discussing how to take faster screenshots on the PlayStation 4. We will be taking tips from our own experience and from other users so that you can make better use of your screenshotting abilities on the PlayStation 4. First and foremost, make sure that your computer is up-to-date with regards to graphics cards and software. If your computer isn’t up-to-date, then it may not be able to handle taking fast screenshots properly. You can check whether your computer is up-to-date by going into “My Computer” in Windows 10 or “Computer” in Windows 8 or 7 and looking for “Graphics Card”. If there is a box labelled “NVIDIA”, then it means that your computer can handle taking fast screenshots properly; if there isn’t, then it may not be able to handle taking fast screenshots at all. Now that we know what we need to do in order to take faster screenshot on the PlayStation 4, let’s get started! We will start by creating a new screenshot folder on our hard drive. This folder will contain all of our screenshot files. Once we have created our new folder, we will need to open it up so that we can start taking quick shots of our games! 1) Open up Sony PlayStation 4 Settings 2) Select “Screenshot” 3) Click on the “+” button next to “Capture Mode” 4) Choose “Quick Shot.” 5) Click on
When you’re caught up in your favorite game—you know, the one that you can play over and over again, and still love every second of it—and something amazing happens, you want to capture it as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the PlayStation 4’s default screenshot setting is slow. Here’s how to fix it.

The default action for taking a screenshot on the PS4 (or PS4 Pro) is to long-press the Share button on the controller—since a regular tap will just open the share menu. There’s a setting called “Easy Screenshots” that flips these roles, making a quick tap grab a screenshot and reserving the share menu for a long-press action. It really just makes more sense this way.
To enable Easy Screenshots, head into your PS4’s Settings menu. Scroll over to the luggage-looking icon, then click on it.
From here, scroll down to “Sharing and Broadcasts,” and enter this menu.
Alternatively, you can also press the Share button to open the Share dialog, then scroll down to “Sharing and Broadcast Settings.” Either way you’ll end up in the same place.
The top option in this menu, “Share Button Control Type,” houses the screenshot settings we’re looking for. Click to jump in.
Highlight “Easy Screenshots” and tap X.
That’s pretty much it! From this point froward, you’ll be able to instantly grab a screenshot by tapping the Share button, which is actually a much bigger deal than it sounds like for anyone who takes a lot of screenshots.
