Taking a Snapshot of the Screen
True confession: We threw in this final tip because, well, it helps people like us.
Permit us to explain. We hope you’ve admired the pictures of the iPhone screens that are sprinkled throughout this book. We also secretly hope that you’re thinking what marvelous photographers we must be.
Well, the fact is, we couldn’t take a blurry picture of the iPhone using its built-in screen-grab feature if we wanted to.
Press the sleep/wake button at the same time you press the Home button, but just for an instant. The iPhone grabs a snapshot of whatever is on the screen. The picture lands in the iPhone’s camera roll; from there, you can synchronize it with your PC or Mac, along with all your other pictures. And from there, the possibilities are endless. Why, your picture could wind up just about anywhere, including in a For Dummies book.
