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

Functions particular to still shooting are shown below. Other functions will be the same as for movie shooting.

<Function>	<Settings>
Image-recording quality	As set in the [Quality] menu. When the movie-recording size is [1920x1080] or [1280x720], the aspect ratio will be 16:9. When the size is [640x480], the aspect ratio will be 4:3.
Exposure setting	Shutter speed and aperture set automatically (or set manually for manual exposures). Displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
AEB	Canceled
Drive mode	Single shooting (Self-timer not possible)
Flash	Flash off

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.
