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 (JPEG image). Movie recording continues

while the still image is being saved.

• A still image can be captured when Q is

displayed on the screen. When z is displayed, a

still image cannot be captured.

• The size of the captured still image is the same as

the movie image size (A146). The image quality

is fixed at Normal.

B Notes About Capturing Still Images During Movie Recording

• Still images cannot be saved during movie recording in the following situations:

- When the remaining movie recording time is less than five seconds

- When Movie options (A145) is set to an HS movie option

• The frames of a movie that were recorded when a still image was being captured may not

play back smoothly.

• The sounds of operating the shutter-release button when saving a still image may be

heard in the recorded movie.

• If the camera moves when the shutter-release button is pressed, the image may be

blurred.
