Have you tried taking stills whilst watching the video on the camera?
[QUOTE=Irony Monger; 1102563]Picked up the new underwater model of the Xacti line from Sanyo and tested it out in the pool at the Savannah in AC. The camera worked nicely, though to be honest the controls are a bit hard to use if you have fat fingers.
The attached image is a still recovered from a full HD video recording. It was a bit hard to get this still, because I found out after the fact that this camera records interlaced video at 60FPS in full HD mode. I had to use MGEG Streamclip (squared5. Com) to deinterlace it first. It would have been better to use the SHQ mode at 30 frames / sec non-interlaced instead (same resolution. 1920 X 1080).
Anyway, enjoy the pic, I sure enjoyed taking the video. Note: no bar girls were harmed in the shooting of this underwater video, though all 3 were certainly sore the next day from unrelated activities. [/QUOTE]Mine gives me the option of pressing the still photo button whilst playing back video and it takes the frame and saves it as a still, rather easier than playing with software. It is an older one though as it is only 720p.
