Many readers have asked me what application I use to take the screenshots of my Nokia E61. Since this tool - "Screenshot for Symbian OS" is such an *essential* part of E-Series I am embarrassed that I haven't written about it sooner.
Screenshot for Symbian OS was actually the first application I downloaded to my Nokia E61. It was one of the first applications available for S60 3rd edition and the very first I came across. The application is one of those very rare applications that manage to combine reliability, getting the job done with a clean and amazingly simple user interface. What is even more amazing is that it is free. The multitalented developer - Antony Pranata - is giving this application away.
Antony, my appreciation is much overdue. Thank you!
hi! Now, we can go to our flickr account and send a screen capture from a photo and send it as a MMS or email and say that our E61 have a camera??!?!!
This is a GREAT app. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Lemony and Ricardo,
I am glad you like the app. I think it is a very well written and excellent application. Antony is a genious. A generous genious.
Hi, which is the key which this software uses? I’m not able to find it on my E61
Whoops!
Sorry for that.
Hi all, it’s me Antony… the developer of Screenshot for Symbian OS.
Thank you guys for using my applications. I hope that it will be useful for the whole Symbian OS communities, including S60 phone users…
Thanks for the admin for featuring my application too.
Hi Antony,
Thank you so much for stopping by E-series. Your blog is amazing. Thank you for your contribution to the Symbian community.
How do you go about taking a snapshot? I am not sure how to press ? Which key is that? Thanks.
There are two settings. I set up mine to use the star key * sequence so this is how I press on the Nokia E61:
Blue Key with arrow (left corner) + Black Arrow Up Key (next to the blue arrow key) + * Key. Press all of them at once. It might take you one or two tries before you get the hang of it.
Then it is like cycling - comes naturally
Anthony,
My question was actually in regards to the “edit” key and how to go about pressing that since its not labeled so on the Nokia e61. I found out elsewhere that on the e61 the left shift key is the “edit” key. That solved I can no use this great app.
I tried pressing the blue key + the black up arrow and the * key at the same time, nothing happens.
Make sure its the left shift key and you don’t need to press the blue key.
Hi all, I just received a loan of Nokia E61 from Forum Nokia Champion.
And surprisingly, I found a bug in E61. Oh no….
I am going to fix this as soon as possible in version 2.30.

Thanks for the update Antony~!
thanks again for the program!
Nokia E61 Screenshot & Golfing?…
Found on my favorite blog about the Nokia E61, E-Series, is a pointer to a free program to capture screenshots of the smartphone to a file. Get the program here. Note that for the Nokia E61, the default key combination to take a snapshot is <Shift&g…
What is a screenshot software?
Thanks for writing about this excellent freeware. It works great on my E61i!
Just out of interest, I’m wondering if any of your readers are using this:

And if so, how it compares…
Ack! Sorry, the app I’m referring to in the link is ScreenSnapS60, the last one on the page…
Screen shot 2.80 by Anthony Pranata is out with new capture features check it out at http://s60devices.com
Hi guys, the instruction guide for “Fun Games & Tools” stated on the first page that the applications in the Micro SD card automatically installs itself the first time we insert the memory card in the phone. however, my phone did not display any installation process at all. How do i try to reinstall the applications in the memory card?
Hi Antony..
cool apps.. saya sudah pake aplikasi ini dari versi 2. banyak sekali manfaatnya.. saya bangga dengan anda sebagai orang Indonesia.
terima kasih ya..
ScreenShot taker is software for symbian S60V2 and S60V3. I use this software on my N70. it runs very well
