Solution
While shooting a movie, you can also take a still photo by pressing the shutter button completely.
IMPORTANT
When you press the shutter button halfway to autofocus during movie shooting, the following phenomena may occur.
- Focus may become far off momentarily.
- The brightness of the recorded movie may be different from that of the actual scene.
- The recorded movie may be momentarily still.
- Lens operation noise may be recorded.
- You may not take a still photo when focus is not achieved in cases such as the subject is moving.
Functions particular to still shooting are shown below. Other functions will be the same as for movie shooting.
