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. The photograph will be recorded at the
current image area setting using a crop 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 45) and then rotating
the live view selector to
1 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 (
0 130).

The Count-Down Display
A count down will be displayed 30 s before movie recording ends
automatically (
0 51). Depending on shooting conditions, the
timer may appear immediately when movie recording begins.
Note that regardless of the amount of recording time available, live
view will still end automatically when the timer expires. Wait for
the internal circuits to cool before resuming movie recording.
