Hi dear jae Jung..,
Once you capture the screen, you can't cancel it..,
but you can delete it.
use Astro File manager, go to SDcard/screen capture directory

good luck

I guess this does work from the comments, but mine just brings up a list of recent programs as soon as I hit the middle button. Anything to do with the fact that I bought the phone in Asia (though it's legit not a fake)? Or am I just not doing this most basic task properly..

NRF1966 says:

ok, I have tried everything, I still can't get my Samsung GT-S5570 to take a snapshot of the screen. I know it does it though, because there are three in the screenshot folder. All of my 'Locked' wallpaper over the last three months. So please tell me what I am doing wrong!
23 February 2012 22:20
NRF1966 says:

LOL, just worked it out through trial and error. If you hold the centre button down too long it goes to task manager. AND you don't use the 'goback' button. What you have to do, is (quite quickly before the task manager comes up) Press and hold the Centre button, then press the side (power on/off) button. You will get a 'shutter' sound, a shaded border and a screenshot in your screenshot folder, et voila, I thank you :)
