World's highest Simultaneous Motion Video and
1.2-Megapixel Still Picture Recording
Now you can have it both ways. When you're shooting a moving picture and you
see a great scene, you can snap off a 1.2-megapixel still shot while continuing to
record the moving picture. You don't even have to change recording modes. The
moving pictures are recorded onto tape, the still is recorded onto the SD Memory
Card. This two-in-one capability means you can catch sudden photo opportunities
without interrupting a great moving picture scene.
