If you want to take screenshot of current screen just call following method on any action event which give you Image object.

-(UIImage *) screenshot
{
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.bounds.size);
    [self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
    UIImage *sourceImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    //now we will position the image, X/Y away from top left corner to get the portion we want
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(sourceImage.size);
    [sourceImage drawAtPoint:CGPointMake(0, 0)];
    UIImage *croppedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    //To write image on divice.
    //UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(croppedImage,nil, nil, nil);

    return croppedImage;
}

Hope this will help you.
