Is it just a video camera, or can you take still pictures with it too

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

It takes video and you can capture still photos while you are shooting video.

yes you can do still pictures at anytime even when recording video. If you have Windows 8 it recognizes the GE DVX without downloading a bunch software. I did have trouble downloading video to youtube; still haven't figured that out yet. Good luck.

There is a servo connection that attaches to the camera. This allows remote trigger of it. Also to change modes from still to video.

It's more for taking photos than videos I believe. I'm happy with the photos it takes.

With this Sony model you cannot take a still photo while shooting video. On some previous models you could. Sony took that feature away on this one - and I was unhappy to find that out (after I bought the camera)

Yes, I believe so however the picture quality is just okay.. In addition you can only take still shots.. I wouldn't recomend this camera..

Yes, it does take still photos. Just press the bottom right button on the Tx when the camera is in standby and not in video mode.

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.

I never used the camera for video. As to your second question, the camera only runs on batteries, and the batteries cannot be recharged in camera.

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 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.

Yes, it can capture stills both from video playback (in review mode) and in the moment (in photo mode).

open the camera app and you can take or record video. your are going to need to have a memory card for additional storage.

yes....it's a great little camera. Takes great pictures as well as video. We have recorded a few videos and used for our powerpoint presentations at our church. Very nice.

No, its a cinema camera, so it only takes video. For pictures could just buy something from cannon's Eos line, Panasonic, Nikon (most dslr's will work fine plus some can shoot good video). But if you want something that take good video and photos look at Panasonic's GH line, especially the GH4 which is becoming quite popular right now.

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

As far as I know, it is only a still shot camera you would need a video camera as well. The only instance of still and video combo that I have seen is in video cameras, smart phones and tablets. I don't think they have put video in 35mm cameras yet but they're probably working on it,
