How it's used
While 錄影 is the standard term for recording video, it is often used interchangeably with 拍 in casual speech when referring to filming something with a phone or camera. However, 錄影 specifically implies the act of capturing a broadcast or a structured event, whereas 拍 is more general and can refer to taking photos or videos of anything.
Examples
Please help me record the performance.
Has this show been recorded yet?

Common mistake
Avoid using 錄影 to mean taking a photograph, as it strictly refers to moving images. For still photos, use 影相 instead.
