Taking Photos In Movie Mode - Nikon D500 User Manual

Taking Photos in Movie Mode

To take photos in movie mode (either in live view or
during movie recording), select Take photos for
Custom Setting g1 (Custom control assignment) >
Shutter-release button (0 303). Photos with an
aspect ratio of 16 : 9 can then be taken at any time by pressing
the shutter-release button all the way down. If movie recording
is in progress, recording will end and the footage recorded to
that point will be saved.
Except when an NEF (RAW) or TIFF option is selected,
photographs are recorded in the format selected for Image
quality in the photo shooting menu (0 91); photos taken with
an NEF (RAW) or TIFF option selected are recorded at an image
quality of JPEG fine★. For information on image size, see page
72. Note that the exposure for photographs can not be
previewed when the live view selector is rotated to 1; mode P, S,
or A is recommended but accurate results can be achieved in
mode M by previewing exposure with the live view selector
rotated to C.
