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.
