Can you take pictures while recording the movie?

Not that i have been able to do - pressing the shutter stops video acquisition, but since starting the movie has a separate trigger you can press shutter once to stop, again to take still, then movie button to start movie again. I had a larger canon which could take stills during video acauisition which was ok but there was frame droo during the still capture. Made me less likely to take stills during video recording even when i did have the function.

Yes, you can. However, it is limited to record on and off.You cannot zoom in or out.

I can't find any way to do that. It seems to be set up to only record audio while recording video.

yes. You just have to select that setting on the video camera before recording.

Yes you can. My wife has the camera today, otherwise I would tell you how, but I kinda have to do it.

Yes you can. You need microphone installed or you need a camera which has audio recording feature.

Yes. Even during video . I prefer to pause video and copy and save that picture.

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.

Not to my knowledge. I've not tried to do this but the playback and record menus are not operable at the same time.

Yes! But I had to try it.. When the camera is set on Movie mode the remote will start and stop the camera. But if the camera is in a pic mode, pushing the red movie button for the start is not controllable to stop the recording via the remote. I started the camera with the red button and put the remote in front of the camera and pushed the STOP button - the recording didn't end. The remote was set on the single frame mode (left side of the slider). it does work from 100ft - at least for regular pictures. T in OH

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

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

Yes you can. The camera does not have a speaker so there is no audio playback. Not a deal breaker. Audio comes out fine on desktop playback.

yes-I did shoot video by accident but meant to take still photos. Make sure you read the instructions clearly before you start using the camera. I made the mistake of not doing so before my trip.

If what you mean is: While you are recording will you be able to talk and have it recorded also? The answer is yes.

You can turn the camera on and off. It takes both video and stills. Do NOT buy this one, it's a piece of crap, it will break easily. The gears are CHEAP PLASTIC, where the shaft goes thru center of gear, the screw that tightens on the shaft will strip on first crash.
