Is there a way for the Galaxy S5 to capture a screen shot of its own screen, or do you just have to shoot the GS5 screen with another camera?

Another option is to go to settings > motions and gestures > palm swipe to capture > turn toggle at the top right On.  Then to capture a screenshot, tilt your hand on its side (little finger down) and slide across the display right-to-left.

I had searched through the official "manual" for the S5 and googled around for the answer to my question but couldn't find anything.  Is there a manual or other source that I could refer to for answers to similar usage questions? 

Thanks, Ed
