can you make stills from the video image? If so, how's the quality?

I make stills all the time for work and they are very good quality. There are several options and several free software programs that do this.

The issue of still images or video depends on the software you use. I use an application called IRIS which gives me video clips. I have not tested any software package3d with the camera.

I had not tried that feature yet. I usually only leave the camera at its native settings for the highest quality. I usually edit the photos/videos after the raw footage is uploaded to keep the full resolution.

I don't like how it shoots in low light situations. BUT you can push the ISO in AV or TV mode and it should work OK. You may have to remove some digital noise in the editing.

Simple answer is yes, Make sure you have a decent shutter speed so up the ISO, Image quality is excellent as is the dynamic range, I.E you can pull the shadows in processing without banding or bad grain/noise

Yes, but JPEG rendering is really really bad. Raw files are amazing. They hold a lots of shadow details. Right now I'm only using d800e and leica m240. But I had a great time with this affordable camera

You can add the video to Windows Movie Maker (you might have to download it from Microsoft's website) and make still shots from the frames.

I'm sorry but I haven't tried that yet . I am kind of disappointed by the quality of the video myself . Not too enthused by it . It can't record high speed action like it's said to be able to do.

yes with just a little focusing ... video is a tad fuzzy but pics are great.. just make sure you have a good screen

I'm not aware of this feature on this camera. I've read that the stills aren't wonderful quality anyway but haven't tried stills at all yet. Here is a link to the pdf manual and it also contains some links to R/C folks that have used them. http://www.armadale.org.uk/808manual.pdf Hope this helps.

Yes the picture quality is quite acceptable. It works the other way too - a Sony still picture camera with a high resolution image capture takes surprisingly great HD video!

You still need a video capture device and software. This is only meant to "stabilize" the video from flaws like macrovision. ;)

Yes you can snap stills during video capture. The GF5 also has the capability to pull screenshots from video during review.

You can get within four or five inches of most still subjects and get a good shot. The lighting can sometimes be a challenge indoors. I experiment with flash/no flash to get what I need. :^)

Well so far, I have had terrible luck recording indoors. I have seen test on youtube and elsewhere, that display otherwise though. Many of the other reviewers seem to be getting better image quality than me.

Hello Leslie, I haven't explored the video capabilities in depth, but just with base settings, I've been pretty happy with the video capabilities. The images come out clear with smooth fps. I guess it depends on what level of quality you're looking for, at a hobby level, it's been awesome and I am able to use the still photos for my professional work.
