Hi Jeff_Jeong,


​Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand you're not able to use Shift + Command + 5 to take screenshots in macOS High Sierra.


What you describe is normal if you're using High Sierra. Here are the details, from the article titled How to take a screenshot on your Mac:


"If you've upgraded to macOS Mojave, you can use Shift-Command (⌘)-5 to take all types of screenshots, or make video recordings of your screen. Other keyboard shortcuts, such as Shift-Command-3 and Shift-Command-4, continue to work in all versions of macOS."


To use Shift + Command + 5 functionality, you'll need to update your Mac to macOS Mojave. If you're interested in doing so, check out the links below to back up your Mac and then update:

I hope I've answered your question. Take care.
