Yes, it does take stills. This is awesome. We use it to take pictures of our properties and it has saved us money. We no longer have to pay someone to take them for us.

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!

Yes, but you must have just the right smart cell phone to take any pictures.

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.

It is saved to an SD card. You can look at the LCD display ob the rear to see how many photos were taken. It only shoots stills but they're in series.

I'm not aware of this feature on this camera. I've read that the stills aren't wonderful quality anyway but haven't tried stills at all yet. Here is a link to the pdf manual and it also contains some links to R/C folks that have used them. http://www.armadale.org.uk/808manual.pdf Hope this helps.

Yes you can take stills underwater. You can also take stills from the video that are pretty good quality.

Yes, it does. My purchase was for my second one. I lost my first one. I like it because it is an easy to use, small, reliable, and great picture taking camera.

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

I wouldn't recommend this camera for stills. While it can take them it really isn't designed for it. Unless you have it tripod mounted and you're using a lot of light the pcs aren't going to turn out very good. Also, the Barry Green book is excellent but is very technical and loaded with info that may be beyond your level at the moment. That will make for dry, boring reading, much of which won't pertain to you until you're way down the road. But, I'd still get it if I were you because it's a wonderful resource and it'll help take you to those next levels.

Yes, it does! I am VERY HAPPY with this camera! I had a Canon EOS before I converted to digital, and I love this camera as much as my Canon!!

Yes, it does. It is a great little camera; the only thing I wish it had was a mic input for an external microphone. But hey, it's not a professional camera, but the images are nice, clean and sharp.

It has continuous shooting if you hold down the shutter button. It's not too quick but it's effective. I like mine!

Yes, it does take regular pictures. However, with my experience, the pictures are of very low quality. I have had better luck with taking video and grabbing a shot that I liked from that.

I believe it does not. It also does not have any way to use an external shutter mechanism. One of the shortcomings of an otherwise wonderful little camera.

Yes it can but not as Good as a DSLR. I don't know what the megapixal rating is on the stills.

Yes! 100% I would recommend this camera for still picture ,bad side lenses are little expensive .

No unfortunately not, but the quality is decent enough for you to screen grab stills from the video. Hope that helps.

It doesn't have a still picture mode. I take stills from the video capture as you've suggested which works pretty well. It's a great little camera.
