- A: AnswerHi, Alan! One frame of the recorded video can be recorded as a still image. If you touch the camera icon or press the multi-dial, the scene will be recorded as a still image when played back. Also, the number of pixels of the still image to be recorded is the same as the number of pixels of the recorded video. This can be done more than once. [INVALID] will be displayed when the still image cannot be recorded in cases such as there is not enough remaining recording capacity in the memory card. Hope this helps! -C

Q: QuestionDoes this camera take photos while recording?(2 answers)
A: AnswerNo. This is a dedicated video camera. However with All-Intra recording you grab any one frame. This is not a replacement for high speed frame grabs. I have an FZ-2500 Panasonic, 1" sensor, 20MP that is more capable for this type of task. The x1500 has better image stabilization, a smoother zoom rocker, the XLR audio input, much longer battery life, and 4k60, whereas FZ2500 is 4k30.Answered by bitwizard
