k Shooting Movies
You can take a still photo at anytime by
pressing the shutter button completely,
even during movie shooting.
Taking still photos during movie shooting
The still photo will record the entire screen including the semi-
transparent mask.
If you take a still photo during movie shooting, the movie will have a
still moment lasting about 1 sec.
The captured still photo will be recorded to the card, and the movie
shooting will resume automatically when the Live View image is
displayed.
The card will record the movie and still photo as separate files.
Functions particular to still shooting are shown below. Other
functions will be the same as for movie shooting.
