X70 - can I shoot photos?
after a long debate with the "search" tool, it consistently refuses to return the results I want :-(
So, the question: X70 is not designed to record still pictures (photo), am I right? alternatively, what is the max resolution "pixel count" one can get by grabbing still frames from a video clip? In other words, what is the size of the largest photo I can get from That 14Mpx sensor? thanks in advance sauro |

No photo mode is mentioned in the documentation. So I think it has none, only video.

Sadly there is no photo mode. The camera is currently HD, so a still would be 1920x1080 (approx 2 MP).

Awesome photos with my FDR-AX100. Same chip. 4K.

Re: X70 - can I shot photos?
Don't forget, if and when the 4K firmware update comes, you'll be able to take reasonable resolution frame grabs from 4K video - not the megapixel size of some stills that we see from many small camcorders, but worth mentioning.

Re: X70 - can I shoot photos?
Don't see any photo functions on the Sony page for the X70, seems strange they'd leave that off, but I guess "pros" wouldn't be caught dead shooting stills <wink>?
I've used the dedicated "photo" button on my AX100 more than once, it's really not a half bad "stills" camera in a pinch! Since it shares the bloodlines of the RX10, I'm sure that's part of it! |
