Shooting Still Photos

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

Shooting Stills in the <k> Mode

When the movie-recording size is [1920x1080] or [1280x720], the aspect ratio will be 16:9. When the movie-recording size is [640x480], the aspect ratio will be 4:3.

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 card will record the movie and still photo as separate files. Functions particular to still shooting are shown below. Other functions will be the same as for movie shooting.

*The self-timer can be used before you start shooting a movie. If used during movie shooting, the self-timer will switch to single-image shooting.

Continuous still photo shooting is possible during movie shooting, but 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 might stop automatically.
