Solution
Still photos can be taken at anytime even during movie shooting by pressing the shutter button fully.
- The still photo will record the entire screen including the semitransparent mask.
- The still photo will be taken at the exposure setting displayed when you press the shutter button halfway. If a still photo is shot during movie shooting in manual exposure mode, the still photo will be taken with the exposure setting set for the movie.
- The still photo will be taken at the image size, JPEG compression rate, and Picture Style that have been set.
- If you take a still photo during movie shooting, the movie will have a still moment lasting approx. 1 sec. The still photo will be recorded to the card, and the movie shooting will resume automatically when the Live View image is displayed.
- The movie and still photo will be recorded to the card as separate files. If you use continuous shooting, the captured still photos will be recorded to the card.
- If [Record func.] is set to [Standard] or [Auto switch media], the movies and still photos will be recorded to the same card. If [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to multiple] is set, the movies will be recorded to the card set for [Playback]. And the still photos will be recorded at the image size set for the respective card.
IMPORTANT
- Any external Speedlite used will not fire.
- AEB cannot be used.
- Continuous still photo shooting is possible during movie shooting, but the captured images will not be displayed during the continuous shooting. Depending on the still photo’s image size, number of shots during continuous shooting, card performance, etc., the movie shooting might stop automatically.
NOTE
- For continuous shooting of still photos during movie shooting, using a high-speed CF card compatible with UDMA transfers is recommended. Setting a smaller image size for still photos and shooting fewer continuous still photos are also recommended.
- If the drive mode has been set to [10-sec. self-timer] or [2-sec. self-timer] and you start shooting a movie, the drive mode will automatically change to [single shooting].
