    You could use the Snapmatic phone app in-game, but the Steam overlay is much easier to actually get to the pictures after you take them (I got the game through steam so it's what I use most of the time).

    PC Gaming is actually incredibly easy, this being one of the best examples of that actually. There's a problem this dude is facing, and there's a very large number of simple solutions to it.

    Fraps is a good one, but there's a tonne of other things that can do it.

    Just a noob tip (im the noob and its my tip) for pc user:

    you guys could just go to sittings (gta 5/online sittings)-graphics-screen type and change it to windowed/windowed borderless and then use sniping tool

    if it works report me later
