French term or phrase: Prise de vue

Good morning,

Would it be “shot”?

« Le développement de l'imagerie numérique et l'intégration de fonctions de prise de vue statique (photo) ou dynamique (vidéo) dans un nombre croissant d'appareils, notamment dans les téléphones mobiles, ont pour effet de faire naître de nouveaux besoins en matière d'analyse et / ou de traitement d'images. »

Thank you in advance

ps. 'prise de vue' is context specific, as chris collister pointed out.

prise de vue shooting

Explanation:
In the particular syntax of your source text, you'd need to say 'shooting' (stills or video) — unless you were to say "taking still or moving shots", which i think would be quite wrong for the register here!
