Screen Shot on iPhone with no home button

Is there another way to take a screen shot?


For iPhone models with no home screen, i.e. use the up volume and side button --- RARELY WORKS. There needs to be a reliable method. I tried taking screen shots of video presentation and other times without a video. Combo of buttons turns phone OFF
