Taking Photographs
To take a photograph while recording is in progress, press the
shutter-release button all the way down. Movie recording will end
(the footage recorded to that point will be saved) and the camera
will return to live view. Except at a frame size of 640 × 424, the
photograph will be recorded at the current image area setting with
an aspect ratio of 16 : 9. Note that the exposure for photographs
can not be previewed during movie live view; mode e, f, or g is
recommended but accurate results can be achieved in mode h by
adjusting exposure during live view photography (
0 49) and then
ending live view photography, starting movie live view, and
checking the image area. Exposure compensation for the
photograph can be set to values between –5 and +5 EV, but only
values between –3 and +3 can be previewed in the monitor

shots and check the results in the monitor.
