Hold down the HOME button and the POWER button. The HOME button is on the front of the phone at the bottom, the POWER button is on the right side of the phone.
Alternatively, using the Stylus pen, click the button on top of the Stylus once and then long press on the screen. Using this method also allows you to crop or draw on the screen capture.

wondering if anyone is able to modify the Samsung framework so we can have a hardware button combo (ie any combination of volume, home and power) to save a screenshot, rather than the stock implementation of palm swipe across the screen.
I find the palm swipe only works for me once every couple of tries, and can often scroll the exact content on the screen you are trying to capture.
Alternatively, Any app suggestions which can achieve this would also be helpful...
EDIT SOLVED already possible with stock frame work... Press and hold both power and home simultaneously for about half a second, and screenshot is captured.
Press n hold the power and home button together !
Power + Home presssed with correct sync indeed
Hmmm doesn't work for me on omega 4.1.... ?? I see online that this should work as an option... Any setting to enable it?
Edit.... Ok got it push both bottoms simultaneously and hold for half a second. Perfect thanks all.
I would have preferred if they stuck with the volume down+ power button combo like stock Android 4.0
Are you holding them in? I thought it wasn't working at first, turns out you just need to hold them both for about a second and it'll work.
I do prefer the SE way of having the option in the LongPressPower options but hey, I love my S3 more.

Glad I found this. The swipe gesture is frigging useless for anything that scrolls.
Is there any method or trick for the same? If 'yes' then please do enlighten me, since it's very cumbersome touching the back button using fingers when working on the phone particularly when using it with the S-Pen only.
Thanks!
press the s-pen button and draw a '^' to get menu and a "<" to go back.
I just got my GN2 yesterday, and for some reason, I can't take a screenshot by pushing the power and the home buttons. I've never had an issues with my GN1, does anyone have this same problem or any advice?
Go to settings>s motion and check palm swipe to capture.
Simply swipe your hand over the screen and voila.

thanks, i've been doing that, but i preferred the button combo
anyway, i found that you need to simultaneously press home and power at the same time and hold it for about a second
it's odd, because on my GN1, as soon as you pressed it, it would screen shot.
Anyone else with a sticky power button? It stopped clicking today and is more of a soft press now. Using my fingernail to pry a bit in the gap between button and phone returns the physical click, but it quickly goes soft again.

I have seen many people on here talk about the hard home press button. I have barely used it. I wanna know why is it important? Am i missing out on a feature?
For me it goes straight to home when i press it.

Hard press then swipe left or right.
Kinda cool but Good Lock and one handed mode makes it useless.
Actually when my screen is off, and I can't reach the power button, or if it was on a table, pressing the power button is annoying, so with this hard press I can wake my device easily just like the normal home button in previous galaxy devices, and you can configure the pressure level as well.
Also in full-screen apps, or in case of hiding the navigation bar, just hard press the home button and you're back to your home screen, without having to swipe up to get your navigation bar.
