Capturing Still Images While Recording Movies

If the shutter-release button is pressed all the way
while recording a movie, one frame is saved as a still
image (except when Movie options (A 148) is set
to piFrame 540 (960×540)). Movie recording
continues while the still image is being saved.
• A still image can be saved when Q is displayed at	1 7 m 3 0 s
the top left of the monitor.

•Q is not displayed while saving still images. Another still image cannot be saved until Q is displayed again.

•The image size of the saved still image depends on the Movie options (A148) settings. The compression ratio is approximately 1:8.
