How do you take screenshots?
I cannot find the key in the keybindings in game.
Print Screen did not work, nor did any Fn keys...
I did find a folder in "My Documents\Mirror's Edge Catalyst\Screenshots", but it is empty
Any idea?

I was wondering the same thing too. if I pull up the Console using the Tilde (~) key, and type in screenshot.render , it takes a screenshot. However, the console will show up in the screenshot as well. So far, I've only resort to turning the game into borderless mode and using a 3rd party screen capture program to take my screenshots.
EDIT
If you type in screenshot.render and quickly close the console after pressing enter, you can take screenshot without the console showing!
It is RIDICULOUS that the game does not have a keybing for that... it shows how poorly ported from a console the code was done.
They keep porting these standards to all of their programms, developers and games it seems. What else could explain why Origin doesn't even have a screenshot feature? It's a glorified DRM and I was mildly amused when yesterday a survey popped up, asking me about my opinion about the app. What is there to have an opinion about? I use it because I have no choice other than to boycott the game...
But to get back on topic, it even gets "better" in the screenshot department:

Why does this thread even exist? So much unnecessary drama on this forum o_0
I dont see any drama... Why is it that nowadays whenever someone does a critic, it is called as being a drama?
This world is full of thin-skinned people hehe.
Alright, point taken, altough you did mention "Why does this thread even exist"
Of course the lack of such a feature is not destroying my enjoyment of the game, but I still think it is quite ridiculous the game has no such feature....
Anyway.... my question was answered a long time ago, and to be fair, i dont care about the thread anymore.
But that's true it does work without major issues at least with this particular game. I personally use Dxtory and it works just fine as well, so at that point I would assume any screen recording tool should work just fine. I do have Origin in game disabled though. If using borderless windowed, then regular use of "print screen" button should work as well. My guess to why this thread exsists is because people are just too accustomed to Steams F12.
Excuse me while I point out that FRAPS in its freeware-state is very limited and outdated, but I'm sure you're using the regular version, the pay-version, as do we all, right?
But jokes aside, Steam is free and I like Steam even if it is also a DRM, but at least it's got some features, one among them being the screenshot feature. It worked before the patch, it doesn't after.
I'm not trying to create a drama here, I just see a pattern. When I discovered the screenshot folder I fully expected it to be my fault for having overlooked the ingame screenshot feature or the button to use it, but wasn't at all surprised when I couldn't find it. Those many incohesive decisions EA and its developers made over the last couple of years just start to accumulate into a big pile of...^^
