Capturing Still Images While Recording Movies
If the shutter-release button is pressed all the way while
recording a movie, one frame is saved as a still image.
Movie recording continues while the still image is
being saved.
• A still image can be saved when Q is displayed at
the top left of the monitor.
• Q is not displayed while saving still images. Another
still image cannot be saved until Q is displayed again.
• The image size of the saved still image depends on the movie type (resolution)
(
A 134). The compression ratio is approximately 1:8.
• Images captured at z (320 × 240) are displayed with a gray frame during
playback.
