does this camera allow you to make still photos out of the videos it records.

You can add the video to Windows Movie Maker (you might have to download it from Microsoft's website) and make still shots from the frames.

No. That can be done easily with a free third party software like Frameshots 3.

I've had mine for over a year, and I can't remember if it came with any proprietary software or not. Either way, I would just get some free 3rd party software that you can use to take screenshots of your video. Good luck! The camera rocks!

I don't know, I only have pictures on my unit. But I would figure if it keeps running through the pictures, it would do the same with a video.

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.

You can take video, stills & stills during video...my pics are always clear.

No. The first time you press the record button it starts recording. Press it again and it stops. When you press it again it starts a new file. When you play them back in the camera they will be strung together but when they are loaded into your computer they will be separate files and you will have to use software to make one continuous video.

Yes and no. The camera itself does not have a photo option but you can pull snapshots from the video clips using your video editing software.

Hi Kenny, continuous playback is possible but is dependent on the battery life of the camera. -Vincent

I have not done any video recording but I have read that the autofocus doesn't work well when in video mode. The still photos are great.

Hi Jennifer, It only records video. Although they quality is fairly decent enough for you to take stills from it. Hope that helps. Desi

Yes, It takes great video and will keep recording as long as the memory card will allow or until the battery dies. Whichever comes first.

Short answer: no, get a proper stills camera for that. However since it shoots raw, it saves each frame as a separate dng file within a folder so technically you could grab a still from the dng sequence.

Yes, it shoots video, but the capability is limited, and it's not the latest technology. That being said, I've been very happy with this camera for several years.

No I don't believe so. You can set the motion detection to alert you and then you can choose to record what is going on in view of the camera or take individual snapshots.

The other answer suggested the answer is no. However I recorded a short video and snapped pix while the video was recording and those pix were recorded as was the video. I doubt this is a feature I'd use since I generally don't record video on my camera.

Yes, it does. This is a fabulous camera! The sound quality for videos is excellent and blurry photos come out clear! I love it! Highly recommended!!

According to the user manual http://pdisp01.c-wss.com/gdl/WWUFORedirectTarget.do?id=MDMwMDAwNjkyODAy&cmp;=ABR&la;ng=EN it does take stills, and it can even take stills while shooting video.

This is my exact question. I bought the camera for video. We went to Costa Rica and although I switched back and forth between still and video, it only recorded video. The user guide doesn't shed any light on this problem. Luckily I also had my Canon ESO and a Nikon point and shoot. The still shots I took with this camera were when the other two weren't handy. Please, anybody, help!!!!!
