How to Take a Screenshot on an LG Optimus
Taking a screenshot with your LG Optimus smartphone is a good way to capture what is on your phone's screen so you can share it with whoever you want. Your phone is designed so that after using your default screenshot, the image will then...
Method 1 of 2:
Using Your Default Screenshot
- Navigate to the screen you wish to capture. You may need to turn your phone on or bring it out of standby mode. Once you have reached your phone's home screen, you can access your apps, web browser, or your phone default settings to reach the screen you want to capture.
- Any image displayed on your phone screen will be captured. This includes text message notifications and status notifications that may pop up on your screen while taking your screenshot.[1] [2]
- Press the power and volume keys. You will need to press these simultaneously, and poor timing could result in you putting your phone in standby mode instead of taking your screenshot. If this occurs, bring your phone out of standby mode and try to take your screenshot again.
- You should hear the noise of a shutter when you have successfully captured the on-screen image.[3]
- Your power button can be found on the upper-right side of the device, and the volume button on the upper-left side of your phone.[4]
- Navigate to your device gallery. You may be able to do this by pulling down your device Notification Menu, which you can access by swiping your finger in a downward motion from the top of your screen, where you should find a thumbnail of your photo.[5]Tapping this thumbnail will take you straight to where the image is located in your gallery.
- If you cannot find your image in the Notification Menu, navigate to your Apps, which will be represented by an icon with four squares. In your app list, you should find an icon labeled "Gallery," which you can tap to open your gallery. Your screenshot should be located in a subfolder in your gallery labeled "Screenshots."[6]
- Evaluate your screenshot and, if necessary, repeat the process. Since your screenshot will capture any images on your screen at the time, if you have received a pop-up notification for an incoming text, or any other app, that notification will also show up in your screenshot.
- Crop or edit your screenshot to preference. You can make adjustments to your image by tapping it while in the screenshot subfolder, clicking the menu icon (represented by three stacked horizontal lines), and selecting "Crop." [7]Now you can touch the small manipulator boxes, located in the middle of each side of a larger box that represents the part of the image you will keep, and crop out parts of your screenshot you don't want included in the picture.
Method 2 of 2:
Taking a Screenshot with Quick Memo
- Open the Quick Memo feature on your phone. You may need to turn your phone on or bring it out of standby mode. Once you've arrived at your home screen, you can open Quick Memo through you Notification Menu. Access your Notification Menu by swiping your finger from the top of your screen downwards, and from the options available, choose "Quick Memo."
- If you have difficulty accessing your Notification Menu or cannot find "Quick Menu" listed in its options, you can press the up and down buttons for your volume control (located on the left side of your phone) to open Quick Memo.
- Save your image in Quick Memo. Quick Memo is intended to allow you a quick way to jot memos on your screen, take screenshots, or do both.[8]If you only want to take a screenshot, immediately touch the save button, which will be shaped like a floppy disk.
- You can also use the Quick Memo's pen tool (represented by a pen icon), to jot notes about the images on your screen. These will also show up in your screenshot after you have saved the image.
- Navigate to the QuickMemo album in your gallery. You can find your gallery by tapping the App icon, represented by three stacked horizontal lines. In the subsequent list of apps, you should find "Gallery." Tap this, and you should see a list of albums, among which should be the "QuickMemo" subfolder. In this folder you should find your screenshot.
- Adjust your screenshot as necessary. You can make adjustments to your image by tapping it while in the QuickMemo subfolder, clicking the menu icon (represented by three stacked horizontal lines), and selecting "Crop." [9]Now you can touch the small manipulator boxes, located in the middle of each side of a larger box that represents the part of the image you will keep, and crop out parts of your screenshot you don't want included in the picture.
