      • 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.
      • If [Record func.] menu 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.
