one of the little-known features unique to the samsung galaxy s3 is the motion activation it lets you complete day-to-day tasks a little easier using motion gestures to enable it you'll have to go to settings motion and turn motion activation on from there you can select which motion features you want to use there are a bunch of options to choose from but I'll show you a few one of them is tilt to zoom so when you're looking at a photo or a web page to zoom in hold your two thumbs and tilt towards you you can let go to hold the position and to zoom back out put your two thumbs back on and tilt away from you one of the other cool motion gestures is turn over to mute or pause when you activate it and set it face down on a table all incoming calls message alerts alarms and even music will be turned off and silent then when you pick it back up all of your normal sounds will go back on alright the last example and one of my favorites is palm swipe to capture if you ever need to take a screen capture of a funny conversation or a web page with this activated you can just use your palm to swipe across the screen and it'll capture it your screenshot will be saved in a screenshots folder in the gallery and it'll be copied to the clipboard so those are just a few of the motion gestures but you can check out the rest in the motion settings Plus each one comes with its own set of instructions on how to use it specifically to check out more features that are unique to the samsung galaxy s3 check out our review on cnet com and for more how-tos go to how to cnet com versi night I'm Sharon Vaknin you
