A popular and useful feature on the iPhone 4, released June 24, 2010, is the ability to take screenshots—a picture of the current image on your screen. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/06/28iphone.html This page will teach you how to take a screenshot with the iPhone 4.

Screenshots are useful for sharing bugs or problems with tech support or simply saving a screen for later reference. They are also good tools for showing others how to use their iPhones properly.

To take a screenshot, first select what screen you want to capture; next, use a short sequence of buttons to take the screenshot and, finally, retrieve the photo.

The functionality of taking a screenshot has existed in every version of the iPhone since the iPhone 2. http://www.tuaw.com/2008/07/10/iphone-101-taking-screenshots/

Step 1: Navigate to the Screen You Want to Capture

The iPhone 4 will allow a screenshot of any screen you can bring up. You may want to take a picture of a text or IM conversation, an error, a game score—anything imaginable. First, ensure your phone's battery is charged and the phone is turned on. Then, using standard navigation techniques, go to the screen you wish to capture. Ensure it appears on the screen exactly as you want it to appear in the picture. You're ready to take a screenshot.

Step 2: Take the Screenshot

Taking the screenshot is a very easy process, as there are only 2 buttons to push:

Hold down the sleep/wake button on the top right edge of the phone.
Tap the home button twice.

The screen will flash momentarily, signifying the picture has been taken. These screenshots are now automatically saved as photos in your camera roll. http://www.youtube.com/v/dAXuTbl8Rew

Step 3: Use The Screenshot

Now that you have your screenshot, what can you use it for?

Use iTunes to sync the photo to your computer. From your computer, you can manipulate and edit the photo however you want, and then use it just like any other picture.
From your iPhone, attach the photo to an outgoing email to send to a friend
Use an online service like Flickr, Twitpic, yfrog or Facebook to upload and share your photo.
