Taking Screenshots with the N7 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to the take screenshots ? I can't figure it out. I've read the manual, but couldn't find it.. I was looking at pictures that was stored in N7 and saw that there was a screenshot was taken. It was a dark picture. And it was in a album named screenshots. But I never took that picture.

Power button and volume down at the same time.

No problems here with colour screenshots, running baked rom with trinity kernel.
Press the volume down and the power button, hold it until you see the screenshot being taken.

No problem here, not rooted. Does take some "co-ordination", half the time I get the volume control. Need to hit both at exactly the same time and hold for shot.

Per and volume

Banchmark graphs

There is a lot of screenshots of people posting their benchmarks on a graph comparing it to other phones. Where can I find the option to do this on the phone? I want to do a before and after when I root.
Thanks.

Into the home button?
Just curious. Cos it would be darn cool and convenient to have that.

This isn't exactly what you're asking for, but I saw this story in my Reader feed the other day and your post reminded me of it. Seems like a similar idea, so it might be worth a shot?

I saw this too! It works buts isn't that elegant eh? That's why I was asking about the slider shortcuts. I figured since it can be done to the lock screen, it should be quite possible to do it to the home button too. Thanks though.

Button under Volume down?

I did a quick search but couldn't find anything, but once the back of the tablet is off there is another button below volume down, pressing it did nothing once the tablet was on or if I booted up holding it .. what's it for?
Edit; if a photo makes more sense

You didn't do a very good job of searching...I've seen numerous threads on the same subject.

Ok just me then.. seems v easy to take an accidental screenshot adjusting the volume.. At least I do it often as per the evidence. With thought I think my case makes vol changing more fiddly than without a case so it may contribute...

Help me recognize this icon in notification bar.

Hey guys my friend asked me what this icon is for? I can't seem to figure it out. I have never seen something like that on my Nexus.
She's concerned coz nothing happens when she clicks on it.
I asked her to reboot but I'd still like to know what it is and what it does.
Any help is appreciated.
Here's the picture. I am talking about the left most icon. The one that has an eye on a film reel.
