is it possible to record video and take pictures simultaneously?

You can't do this simultaneously, but once the video is recorded, you can capture individual frames of it as individual pictures - all in the camera with no other software needed.

Yes, you can. You can record one or two tracks simultaneously, while the remaining tracks are playing back.

I have never tried doing that while taking video. But very pleased with camera!

Yes. You can choose to record it while you view it or just view it. Works very well.

Yes. You can even take still photos while you are videotaping. There's a photo button on top of the camera by the zoom.

Hi there Chris - Yes there are two recording modes - voice-activated and continuous recording. With the continuous recording mode it will record sound and video. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I just found out it does. Once in the secret setting there is an option to record audio and video at the same time.

There are a couple of popular 3rd party software platforms that can be used for recording video. Blue Iris and Ispy come to mind. Disk utilization varies depending on the frames per second you require. 7 meg per minute would probably be the max.

When I bought my camera, I checked for this function. It was not possible to take a still photo while also taking movies. I suppose it is possible (although probably not likely) that there has been a 'firmware' update, and now you can, but it could not be done when I bought mine.

Yes, it can. But you cannot record it on a mac or even inside the flash card that you put inside the camera, even if the manual says you can. You can just watch the videos and setup the camera perfectly.

Yes you can. I just tried doing that and I was able to record video and take a photo while I was plugged into USB port.

Not that I am aware of. You can switch from video to camera, but can't switch back without plugging it in to a computer.

You most definitely can record both cameras at the same time, depending on the model u can record up to 8 cameras at the same time, the monitor allows u to look at n record all cameras attached either one by one or all on one screen in smaller tiles. Hope this was helpful

I've never tried both at the same time, but as fast as it is sequentially won't take long. My husband shoots with a D3 Nikon and it only takes a couple of minutes at most to upload 900 pictures. I really like using it as the speed is triple the others I have used.

Yes, Another camera is available and the system is set up for 2 cameras You can have a split scree showing both cameras if you like but only one camera will record at one time . I think but don't remember the instructions.It should be ok because both cameras would not be activating if separated.

yes you can. the instructions are a little confusing but it records via a timer or live

I was able to record while doing other things. I am sure it depends on how much ram needed to do the other things. The device works great and well worth the money.
