I don't want a video. I just want a screen shot. I want to draw a rectangle on the screen and capture that.

Can I do that?

If not, can you make it do that? Thanks.

If you enable the snapshot mode (under Options) the recorder will take a single screenshot each time you press to record (or if you use the shortcut key).

I do not find that option. Since there are also several tabs and maybe named differently...in version 2.41.3

Right click the "fps" ans select "Manual" (or click until it switches to "Manual"):

Or go to Options > Recorder > Capture Frequency and select there:
