This button is the edit camera button, not the screenshot button, which is two button on the left.
In any case, what do you mean by “just the terrain mesh” ?

You need to position your camera where you want it, probably switch to 2D mode and then take a screenshot.

if i take a screenshot, it looks like i get screenshot of whole render view not just mesh !!
I need high resolution image ( i mean image of dimension same as dimension of the mesh) and the image that i get from screenshot looks like small image !!!

Here is an example of doing what I said above:
1. Switch to 2D mode
2. Position your camera so you see only your mesh and align the edges of the view with your mesh
3. Take a screenshot and increase resolution as you with
