After enabling this feature, you can take a screenshot by swiping the edge of your hand on the screen, right at the part of the screen you want to capture. Ensure that you swipe decisively and place both the edge of your hand on the screen (the little finger and the side of the hand adjacent to the little finger must touch the screen) to avoid any misinterpretation by the system as a horizontal swipe.

3 Long screen capture, page scroll capture

Sometimes the information you want to capture is too long and cannot fit into one screen. In such cases, the page scrolling feature can help you capture the entire content.

To take a long screenshot, hold the Power button and the Volume down button at the same time to take a normal screenshot. Then, click on the Scroll capture icon with two arrows pointing down and drag the screen downwards to the desired position. Release the screen to stop capturing.
