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 (except when Movie options (A 148) is set
to p iFrame 540 (960×540)). 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 options
(A 148) settings. The compression ratio is approximately 1:8.
