1. Press & Hold VOLUME and POWER buttons down for 2 seconds
2. This will capture the screenshot; you’ll hear a clicking noise
3. You will then get three options: 1) SmartCapture, which lets you capture parts of the screen that might be hidden; 2) Edit, and 3) Share
4. Once you’ve picked an option, you’re done – your screenshot is saved, ready to be shared
