Still image from video recording:

Effect function: Add some creativity to your photos with colour effects. The effect function enables creative shooting, including Sepia mode which adds warmth to the captured images, Monochrome mode which transforms the appearance to create a cool ambience, and Soft skin which produces realistic skin tones
LED light for shooting in dim locations: Built-in LED lets you capture bright, crisp images even in dark situations, like indoors or during nighttime events.* * The LED light does not go on when operating in Webcam mode.
Night view mode: Lets you shoot with twice the brightness* of the previous model. When shooting, this function automatically detects dark scenes and the mode selector button lights up on the LCD screen. Simply press the button to start shooting with Night View Mode. And you can shoot clear images with minimal noise even in dark scenes, such as dimly lit indoor shots or party scenes * Compared with the HM-TA1
Still image capture*: You can cut and save still images out of a video clip during editing and there is no need to connect any other device or to load the video onto a PC for editing. To cut out and save a still image, simply press the ?Photo cutout? button when the desired image appears on the LCD monitor. * Still images cannot be cut out while shooting a video.

iFrame mode: Lets you record movies in iFrame format.
