Screenshots

There's a really great tool by Anthony Pranta for capturing screenshots on Symbian OS (S60) phones. I downloaded and installed it today. The current version for Symbian OS (S60 3rd edition) is 2.60. The screenshot tool works great on N95. By pressing <EDIT>+<OK> you can capture whatever is on your screen (In N95, the <EDIT> key is the "pencil" key). The tool is completely free and supports multiple languages. In the options you can change the settings of the screenshot tool:

1. Capturing mode:

• one shot only
  
• every 1 seconds
• every 2 seconds
• every 5 seconds
• every 10 seconds

2. Shortcut

• <EDIT>+<OK>
• <EDIT>+<+<*>
• <EDIT>+<+<#>

3. Format

• JPEG high quality
• JPEG normal quality
• JPEG low quality
• PNG default compression
• PNG smallest size
• PNG best speed
• BMP 24 bits/pixel
• BMP 8 bits/pixel
• MBM 24 bits/pixel
• MBM 8 bits/pixel

4. Location (where the screen capture is stored)
5. Filename
6. Directory
7. Delay of first shot

• No delay
• 1 second
• 5 seconds
• 10 seconds
• 30 seconds

Below are two sample screenshots captured with the screenshot tool. The first one is the Applications menu with thesScreenshot tool icon highlighted. The second screenshot is showing the approximate location of Nokia headquarters in Espoo, Finland as shown in the Maps application.
