HOW TO TAKE SCREENSHOTS ON SYMBIAN PHONES.

In my earlier days of blogging,I came across several tutorials with screenshots as they would appear on a mobile phone& imagined how they got it.

I decided to surf the net in search of answers,but got really disappointed as almost all the tutorials I read said: “only computer users”can get screenshots.

After much search,I gave up.But just recently,I came across an application which is capable of taking screenshots of anything currently displaying on your phone's screen(Called Screenshot). It can also take screenshots of other applications running on your phone.. But the bad news is “THIS SOFTWARE WORKS ON ONLY SYMBIAN PHONES”.

How to use “Screenshot”.

Below,I will be giving the steps on how to use this software.

1. Download the app. & install it on your phone{Download links below}
2. Launch the application after installing it from your main menu.
3. Choose what shortcut is more suitable for you by going to Options » Settings menu.[For the 3rd versions,the default shortcut is “Camera key”].
4. Minimize the application by pressing “Back menu”
5. So anytime you wish to take a screenshot,press the shortcut selected in the settings.

You can also choose what format the shots will be saved i.e either in JPEG, PNG, BMP or MBM formats.
