Just press and hold the volume down button and the lock (power) buttons on the right side of the phone until you hear the camera shutter sound and see a flashing animation on the screen.

Community Answer

Method 1: Take a screenshot with the above ways as usual. Open your email app. Click the Attach button to upload this screenshot. Method 2: Drag and drop your captured screenshot into the email directly. You need to adjust the image size by dragging with your left-click mouse. Method 3: Upload your image to a free image hosting platform, like ImgBB, Postimages, etc. You can get a direct image link to share via email. Method 4: Use a third-party screenshot tool. Take a screenshot and then share it via email directly. Here you can choose from AnyRec Screen Recorder, Lightshot, Greenshot, Snagit, etc.
