The invention relates to a method for capturing a video using a camera on board a fixed-wing drone, the camera comprising an image sensor, the drone having, during flight, a drift angle between the longitudinal axis of the drone and a flight direction of the drone. This method comprises: determining the drift angle of the drone; and obtaining video by image acquisition corresponding to a zone with reduced dimensions relative to those of the image sensor, the position of the zone being determined as a function of the drift angle of the drone.
