Still pictures can be recorded even while recording a motion picture. (Simultaneous
recording)
During motion picture recording, press the shutter button fully to record a still
picture.
Note
• You can record up to 2 pictures per motion picture recording.
• The picture size is fixed to 3.5M (16:9).

by fully pressing the shutter button, or creating still pictures after motion picture recording is
recommended.

careful.
