Can this camera take a still image picture at the same time while recording a video?

I have not tried that function as I have not found any instruction anywhere in the manual in this regard. However, others tell me that it is possible to shoot still images.

Both cameras record at the same time. However, when you look at the monitor, it will swap views back and forth from each camera. So you will see one camera for a few seconds and then it will swap the view to the other. Hope this answers your question.

Yes you can as the other comments covered the subject well. I have never checked but I think you need the camera operating to take a still photo?

Unless you have the camera charging simultaneously, I would say no...based on the fact that the battery has barely lasted 3 hours recording intermittently.

No. The Camera Uses Mini DV Tapes To Record HDV or DV Video. Card Is There For Capture Of Still Shots Only. It's A Great Camera!

Sound and video should record at the same time. Sound won't be good and there may not be much volume.

I have captured still photos while recording by pressing the shutter button. the picture is captured and the recording continues. I was also confused with this, but when I reviewed the video I eventual saw the pictures taken after the video play back. Yes, I agree this camera is awesome. if you have a smartphone or tablet the sony app turn them into remote controls for the camera through Wi-Fi. I am sorry, if too much info, please disregard.

No, you can do video or the multiple stills very quickly, but not stills during video.

Yes, the app will let you view one camera at a time. not both at the same time.

Yes, it can take still photos, it can also take a photograph on an interval timer, good for time-lapse (software would be needed to create a video from the photos). If you have the remote it can be used as a remote trigger for photos and 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.

It will record while plugged in however I have found it will only work if the camera is recording before it is plugged in.

Yes, the device records both video and audio in default mode, but audio recording can be disabled if desired.

You can't do this simultaneously, but once the video is recorded, you can capture individual frames of it as individual pictures - all in the camera with no other software needed.

Simultaneous shooting, up to 5 fps, is also possible in P/A/S/M modes at 5.8MP resolution, without interrupting the movie recording

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.
