Basic Photography and Playback
In movie mode, photos can be taken
without interrupting recording by
pressing the shutter-release button all
the way down. A
C
icon will flash in the
display when a photo is taken.
D
Taking Photos in Movie Mode
Note that photos can be taken even when the subject is not in focus.
Photos are recorded in fine
m
-quality JPEG format at the dimensions
currently selected for movie frame size. In continuous release modes,
the frame advance rate while recording is paused varies with the
option selected for
Frame size/frame rate
, but only one photo will be
taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed while recording
is in progress. Up to 50 photographs can be taken with each movie.

During Shooting
Flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the display and in
photos and movies shot under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium
lamps or with subjects that are in motion, particularly if the camera is
panned horizontally or an object moves horizontally at high speed
through the frame. Jagged edges, color fringing,
moiré
, and bright
spots may also appear. Bright regions or bands may appear in some
areas of the frame with flashing signs and other intermittent light
sources or if the subject is briefly illuminated by a strobe or other
bright, momentary light source, while noise (randomly-spaced bright
pixels, fog, or lines) and unexpected colors may appear if you zoom in
on the view through the lens. Flicker may occur when power aperture
is used during movie recording.
Avoid pointing the camera at the sun or other strong light sources.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the
camera’s internal circuitry.
