Congratz Capt. Ya know my lil info bits and pieces for ya with the system, when you get it, you wanna head right into changing one setting, It's in Settings > Sharing and Broadcasts > Share button control type.
You want to change it to where pressing the share button takes a screen shot and double tapping it starts and stops recording. With it set up like this if you want to record what just happened (the last 15 mins of play) you just hold the Share button for about 2 seconds then press Square on the menu which appears. This is easily the best and fastest way of taking nice Screenshots and recording footage as you play.
If you think sharing your footage might not appeal to you at first trust me... there will be something that happens in a game where you think... damn I wish I could see what happened there again, with the Share feature constantly having recorded the previous 15 mins it means you wont miss out on those cool kills or sequences of games, you can even use it to record endings and such to watch again later.

Huh interesting! So its like shadowplay then?

Yup constantly running in the background but it has zero impact on performance, it's actually handled by a special extra chip inside the machine who's only reason for living is streaming Video from the ps4 into a temp file or else it can be used to stream high fps mode to the Vita, if you are using High fps mode on the vita game recording is not available as the chip is doing that 100% but even if you remote play to the vita using the 30fps mode then you can hit share (select) on the Vita to take a screenshot or like I said holding the button for 2 secs will bring up a menu allowing you a bunch of options the easiest of which is just press Square to commit the last 15mins of play to the harddrive, takes no time at all to do this as it's effectively already there, just needs a filename added to it and you have a game recording, the Rogue legacy video of me in my sig was recorded this way after a sick boss battle on the PS4.
Once you have videos recorded the PS4 comes with Video editing software (basic stuff) but it allows you to go in and chop up the parts of the 15min s which you wanted, rename them, copy them to either usb sticks/hdd (fat32 only) and move to the PC for further editing or else you can upload the trimmed clips directly to a youtube account linked with your ps4 account, the system can be uploading these in the background while you use it to play games and such.
Like I said, it's a feature that I didn't think I'd enjoy at first, but when you bash someone to death in Street fighter in a close game or when you fall through the world in a funny bug, it's nice to just be able to capture that in a press of a button (then another press of square, lul)
