    Solution

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



      Taking Still Photos During Movie Shooting
      • 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.
      • Under [ : Record func+card/folder sel.], if [Record func.] is set to [Standard] or [Auto switch card], 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]. The still photos will be recorded at the image-recording quality set for the respective card.
      • Functions particular to still photo shooting are shown below. Other functions will be the same as for movie shooting.
      Function Settings
      Image recording Quality As set in [ : Image quality].
      When the movie recording size is [1920x1080] or [1280x720], the aspect ratio will be 16:9. When the size is [640x480], the aspect ratio will be 4:3.
      ISO Speed*1 100 - 6400
      P / Tv / Av / B 100 - 16000
      M With [Auto] (A), the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100 - ISO 16000.*2
      You can set the ISO speed manually within ISO 100 - ISO 16000 in 1/3-stop increments.*3
      Under [ : ISO speed settings], [Auto ISO range] and [Min. shutter spd.] cannot be set for movie shooting.
      Exposure Setting / P / B Automatically-set shutter speed and aperture.
      Tv Manually-set shutter speed and automatically-set aperture.
      Av Manually-set aperture and automatically-set shutter speed.
      M Manually-set shutter speed and aperture.
      *1 : If [ : Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the auto or manual ISO setting range will be ISO 200 - ISO 16000.
      *2 : Under [ : ISO speed settings], if you set [ISO speed range]’s [Maximum] setting to [H1 (25600)], the automatic ISO range will not expand to the H1 maximum. Even if you set the [Maximum] and [Minimum] to a narrower range than the default ISO range (ISO 100 - ISO 16000), it will not take effect.
      *3 : Under [ : ISO speed settings], if you set [ISO speed range]’s [Maximum] setting to [H1 (25600)], the manual ISO speed setting range’s maximum will be expanded to H1 (equivalent to ISO 25600). You can also set the [Maximum] and [Minimum] to a range narrower than the default range (ISO 100 - ISO 16000).

      IMPORTANT
      • If (59.94 fps) or (50.00 fps) is set, or if [ : button function] is set to [ / ] or [ / ], you cannot take still photos.
      • Still photo shooting during movie shooting will have approx. 99% coverage with or , and approx. 98% with (when the image recording quality is set to JPEG ).
      • AEB cannot be used.
      • Even if a flash is used, it will not fire.
      • Continuous still photo shooting is possible during movie shooting. However, the captured images will not be displayed on the screen. Depending on the still photo’s image-recording quality, number of shots during continuous shooting, card performance, etc., movie shooting may stop automatically.
      • AF is possible during movie shooting. However, the following may occur:
      - Focus may become far off momentarily.
      - The brightness of the recorded movie may change.
      - The recorded movie may be momentarily still.
      - The movie may record the lens operation noise.
      - If focus cannot be achieved, you cannot shoot still photos.
      NOTE
      • Exposure compensation up to ±3 stops can be applied for still photo shooting during movie shooting.
      • If you want to shoot still photos continuously during movie shooting, using a high-speed card is recommended. Setting a smaller image recording quality for still photos and shooting fewer continuous still photos are also recommended.
      • You can shoot still photos in all drive modes.
      • The self-timer can be set before you start shooting a movie. During movie shooting, the camera will switch to single-image shooting.
