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.
