      While shooting a movie, you can also take a still photo by pressing the shutter button completely.

      • If you take a still photo during movie shooting, the movie will record a still moment lasting approx. 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 movie and still photo will be recorded as separate files on the card.
