How do I pull screen captures

[steveh552]

One of the features of this phone I read about was that you can pull 6mp screen captures from the high res video but I am not seeing an option to do that.I have a rental property that I am having tenant issues with, when I go there i have video going so that I can have proof of any events that happen, but I would like to have the stills so that I can show proof of the conditions of the property if needed in court. Thanks.

While you are shooting video, you should notice a camera icon next to the red button that you push to start or stop the recording.

Hope this helps.

There is no camera icon while shooting video on my device. Do I have to shoot at a lower res, I was shooting at the highest.

I shoot at the highest resolution and mine works fine. While in recording mode, do you not have the camera icon in the top right corner?

No camera icon on mine. It just shows weather I am storing on phone or mem card. I tried changing settings and everything and it still does not show up.

I haven't confirmed it myself but someone said that enabling anti shake is the reason for that.

Appears it was the anti shake, turned it off and the camera button was there by the record button. I was hoping this was a feature that automatically took pics as video was recording.

You are correct, disable anti shake and you should have your icon back.

Not sure you would really want that - a 1 minute video is already a huge file, and now add 60 stills to that? That's another couple hundred MB down the tube. You can just use Windows Movie Maker and can splice out a still photo from any spot in the video.
