Taking Still Photos During Movie Shooting

You can take a still photo at anytime by pressing the shutter button completely, even during movie shooting.

The still photo will record the entire screen including the semi- transparent mask.

The still photo will be taken at the exposure setting displayed when you press the shutter button halfway. If the still photo is shot during movie shooting in shutter-priority AE, aperture-priority AE, or manual exposure mode, the still photo will be taken with the exposure setting set for the movie.

The still photo will be taken with the image-recording quality and Picture Style that have been set.

If you take a still photo during movie shooting, the movie will record a still moment lasting approx. 1 sec. The still photo will be recorded to the card, and 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.

In <s> (Shutter-priority AE) mode, AEB is not possible. External Speedlites will not fire during movie 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.

For continuous shooting of still photos during movie shooting, using a high-speed CF card compatible with UDMA transfers is recommended. Setting a lower image-recording quality for still photos and shooting fewer continuous still photos can also resolve the problem.

If the drive mode has been set to <Q> or <k> and you start shooting a movie, the drive mode will automatically change to <u> (single shooting).
