    I used to have this button to take pictures while filming but then it disappeared. So I reset my settings to their default values, and the button was back!
    It was caused by the stabiliser. If it is set to on, you won't be able to take a picture.

    You have to turn off anti shake if you want to take pictures while shooting a video.

    Actually it doesn't matter whether it's on or off. I just did a short video with anti-shake on and took a shot while in video mode. Then I turned off anti-shake and did the same thing. It works both ways. That is neat! I did not know this phone could do this.

    My phone does NOT take pictures during video while anti shake is "ON". I get the auto focus (AF) indicator and I press it, but it does not capture a picture and save it. I've heard some people can and most can't - I'm wondering if those who can are on a custom ROM.
