Capture can refer to a number of things aside from its usual dictionary definitions:
- In radio, FM capture is a phenomenon of frequency modulation.
- In video, the process of digitising analogue video is often called 'video capture'.
- In public choice theory and political science, capture is said to occur when bureaucrats or politicians, who are supposed be acting in the public interest, end up acting systematically to favor particular vested interests.
- Sometimes the upper courses of rivers can be captured by other rivers eroded through the watershed.
