Solution
Still photos can be taken at anytime even during movie shooting by pressing the shutter button fully.
- The still photo will record the entire screen including the semitransparent mask.
- If you take a still photo during movie shooting, the movie will have a still moment lasting about 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.
| < Function > | < Setting > |
| Image-recording quality | As set in the [  Quality] menu. |
| Exposure setting | Shutter speed and aperture set automatically (Manually if shooting mode is < M >). Displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway. |

NOTE
- For shooting still photos during movie shooting, using a UDMA (Ultra DMA) card having a writing speed faster than 8 MB/sec. is recommended.
- If the shooting mode is < M >, the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO speed set for movie shooting will be used as is.
