I'll keep looking, but the manual doesn't really say much about this except, "Note: You can record movies by pressing the movie shooting button during still photo shooting."
Can anyone add some value here? I assume it will shoot video according to whatever video settings are set if I flip the switch to video, right? Who does this, and what else is there to know about it? Will still mode and video mode get into autofocus fights or something?
What happens to the aperture?
My wife is going to attend a theater rehearsal where she can shoot, but our daughter wants video and some stills. I have simply never used the camera this way before (and I won't be there this time). R3 in case it matters.
EDIT: Looks like the R3 doesn't support any kind of dual shooting, which seems like a step backward. One cannot shoot stills while in Movie mode, and recording video while in stills mode basically switches to Movie mode. I'd love to learn that I have this wrong, though.
