How to get screen shots

[jcgc50]

Just wondering how you get the sceenshots I see here in the forums? I have no idea how to see the screen other than on the Q.

Funnily enough you need a proggie called 'screenshot'

Or you can use the freeware program snap (http://www.freewarepalm.com/graphics/snap.shtml)

Just getting around to this. If I understand what I see on the program you have to map one of the keys for this. I assume that when you want the the key to function as it originally did you just change that setting back is that correct?

Snap has an option to reset the button after each pic. If all you want is one pic, you can use this feature. I use the calendar button, and usually forget to reset it. It takes a while to capture a screen. You hear a beep when you press the capture button, and have to wait for the ending beep. Be patient.

Snap does not capture the silkscreen area, just the upper display area. Good enough for free.

I downloaded Snap, installed, captured a screen, but don't know how to transfer it to my PC, :rolleyes:

Snap saves screenshots as .bmp files on the card. You'll need a card reader to get them over to your PC.

The Screenshot program, by Linkesoft, includes a conduit that does the transfer for you.

and the key it maps is still available as normal, my mapped keys are the up n down keys centre bottom, they still work as normal and for a screen shot I keep one pressed for 2 secs.
