Using "captured" here sounds peculiar. I would say "caught" instead.

You're welcome to adopt and change any peculiar sounding orphaned English sentence that you come across. You should only be careful not to change the meaning when there are translations.

@Pfirsichbaeumchen Yes. That is why I did not adopt the sentence and fix it already...

I think you can safely change the sentence as you suggested.
