Capturing Still Pictures While Recording Movies
If the shutter-release button is pressed all the way while
recording a movie, one frame is saved as a still picture.
Movie recording continues while the still picture is
being saved.
• A still picture can be saved when Q is displayed at
the top left of the monitor.
• Q is not displayed while saving still pictures. Another
still picture cannot be saved until Q is displayed again.
• The still picture is saved with Normal as the image quality. The image size is
determined by the type (resolution) ( A164) of the original movie.
