Does it take snap shot pictures anywhere in the video?

I think it requires a software program that handles video and allows you to separate each frame. I am in need of the same requirement.

I haven't used it to take pictures (there is a button for photo) but the video editing software that I use, allows me to do a snapshot. The quality of the snapshot is good but not quite as good as a camera snapshot.

No, it does not. I suggest getting a 8Gb, 16Gb or 32Gb card. IF, you are going to use the video feature on the camera.

No. You have to position and manually move it urself. But it does capture a good amount of footage when placed in a good spot.

No, it does not. Any features including recording or snapping a picture must be done manually by pressing a button.

It does do video but would not recommend the camera. I was not impressed. Would pay a little more and get a better one. Quality was not the best.

Yes, it does. I have yet to try it though. I am still in the learning stages of just what all this amazing camera will do.

Yes, it takes reasonable video for an inexpensive camera. The video function is minimal as this is not a 'video camera' per se.

No it doesn't. It requires a Micro SD card. I recommend a 32gb micro SD for shooting in HD mode @ 3 min segments.

No it does not unfortunately. Although the YouTube ready quality does mean that you can grab some good stills (screenshots) of your video work.

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!

I haven't tested, but if you have an SD card inside, and previously set up the camera's settings while on a local network, it should snap photos and record video just fine without being attached to anything.

No. the only thing its really good for is to take photos. Not even the video button or image preview button works =(You may want to checkout Outex

I've only had this camera for about 45 days and I can tell you that this has never happened to me... not even once. Remember that you can only shoot video and snap photos on 3 settings: iAuto, P and movie mode. All other settings allow you to shoot video immediately upon pressing the record button but do not allow you to snap photos. I hope this helps. Also try calling Olympus to see if they can help. If possible, could you please post how you resolved the issue. Good luck.

Yes, it also take photos. It is pretty much a standard now with today's camcorders.

Yes, generally it takes good pictures. It also has a little box that recognizes faces. The sound quality on the little videos it takes is amazingly good.
