Normal Orientation (buttons on top of the device): Press and hold the power key and the volume button closest to the device’s left side. Here’s a quick guide with the correct corresponding button: All four possible rotations are available on Amazon Fire tablets, which means the button that activated volume down may change depending on your tablet’s position. It’s important to note that the volume buttons exchange functions depending on the orientation of your Fire tablet. If you swipe down from the top of the display to open the notification tray, you’ll see a notification that reads “Screenshot captured.” A quick preview gets displayed followed by animation pushing the photo to the top of your screen. A camera or chime sound gets played and the screen flashes to confirm the capture. This procedure helps reduce the “power off” scenario when the “Power” button somehow registers first.
Press the volume down button first, but you need to act fast when tapping the power button, almost as if you pressed both simultaneously.To take a screenshot, ensure your tablet is on the app or webpage you would like to capture.
Android often includes the buttons on the side. The Fire tablet power key is typically on the right side of the top of the device, while the volume rocker is off to the left.
