There is no need to use the photo mode, since you can "pause" the
motion video (even selecting the particular frame you want to capture...),
and use one of the higher-quality capture settings in the Snappy software
to capture the still single frame. (I have samples on my web page, under
"Changing Showz", baseball game - and the home-page photo, of Snappy
captures of individual motion video frames. It works quite well...)
BTW, it may help to capture images at twice the intended size, reducing
using pixel interpolation, then sharpening the result - "stairstepping" can
often be minimized this way.
Hope This Helps
