can you take still pictures with it or video only?

Only videos. But with a good 80mbps sd card your video will turn out very clear.

From what I'm able to tell, you can only take video with this. The Midland XTC400VP allows to take 12MB stills (set intervals for time-lapse photography using the Smart App). I have that on order and it also comes with an underwater housing case good to 250 fsw>>http://www.amazon.com/Midland-Consumer-XTC400VP-Action-Camera/dp/B00GYIOV2A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1406921739&sr;=1-1&keywords;=midland+xtc400vp+hd

No still shots but you can easily take a photo within the video on your iPad or iPhone. It's a great camera for the cost!

Yes...it has camera and video mode,,,,and I think it can be broken down from video runs into still shots, as well. We love it--great underwater video and pictures--posted a golden retriever walking on bottom of pool on YouTube.

This camera does NOT take still shots directly, you can take screenshots from the video using VLC Media Player, but the camera cannot take still shots directly. This is a video- only camera, it would be a great buy refurbished. I recommend getting it, if you need still shots but don't need full-HD video then I recommend the Samsung F90 (long- zoom) or for a fair stack of dough get a bridge camera.

Yes. You can even take still photos while you are videotaping. There's a photo button on top of the camera by the zoom.

Yes you can do both. The picture are great quality and so is the video. Became fil while shooting in the water the place where you place you Memory card can open but only because of finger placement. It happened to me once but it was my error. Great camera!

If you mean can you do them both at the same time I don,t believe so. You can take stills and then video on the same memory. Hope this helps!

When shooting videos, how do I shoot still photos at the same time (apparently older M1+Mii could do this)?

I know only that it takes fair-looking video and it comes with the 8 gig memory card. I don't think it takes still pictures. I've never been able to figure that out.

Yes. It takes amazing stills and video. You have the ability to change quality level and environment parameters. Very nice camera built on a drone!

no. it can't even take still pictures unless you use the flash; without it, they're super blurry. seriously recommend another camera. mine has gone back to fuji headquarters twice and I've had it less than a year. good price for bad quality everything.

Only if you're using it for video. One can shoot without stabilization if on a tripod, steadycam or even possibly a monopod. Video shot handheld will be unwatchable. Still photography should be unaffected by the lack of image stabilization.

I have never tried doing that while taking video. But very pleased with camera!

There was no feature to take stills. The camera did not come with software that would help extract images, but the files were saved in standard MPEG format so third party software would allow you to grab images. I use Nero for extracting images from my videos.

Photos CAN be taken while recording video. But this option is not available during High Speed Movie Mode. There is a limit to the number of photos that can be taken during video recording.

I've been able to get stills using my video editing software. The images are good, not great, but I think that is normal for capturing stills. I believe the camera will take stills but I haven't tried it.

Yes you can snap stills during video capture. The GF5 also has the capability to pull screenshots from video during review.
