How do you take photos with this camcorder. I do not see a dedicated photo button

On the screen, there is a box on the left with the word PHOTO in it. Press that and you take a picture.

yes. it is independent from the photo button. 14 or 15 photos can be taken while recording video as well. nice feature.

Yes you can if it's on video mode you just simply press the photo button on top though be sure to focus it so it isn't blurry. If you want advance options switch to photo mode and simply read the instructions from that point :)

Hi Linda, do you see the only Button it has on top?Press On/off key for two seconds to start the device. the camara will go into standby mode, the green LED light will go on.then in the standby mode, press the on/off button for three seconds, the green LED flashes three times before recording begins, and that's it you all set, hope this help you? Happy Holly Days!

There is a on/off button on the left frame, long press it to turn on, then short press to take picture, long press again to record. after finishing, long press it again to turn off, then connect with PC, you will see the video in storage . if all not working, there is a hole for RESET, this is very important when you can not operate the device. find a needle press button in it, it will work again.

We had the same problem and after hours of trying to figure it out, We finally did. Simply push and the center button in. The one you use to steer the camera.

Love my ZS3. One thing I really like is the dedicated "video capture" button. I don't have to change to a video mode, I just hit the button any time to capture movies. Great camera!www.panasonic.net/lumix

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

There's a power switch around the shutter button. Turn it on and it should work.

there are not universal buttons. You are supposed to be able to operate the camera through the plastic enclosure. It did not work very well which is why I returned the product

I gave the camera to a friend. She uses it to take photos of items to sell on eBay and she says it works great. I did not remember a button being on the camera.But I asked her to check for me. She said that nothing happened but she did get a message saying the button only works on "Windows Messenger." I hope that helps.

You can take still photos while filming by just pressing a button although that function is disabled if you're filming in the highest setting

Hi Alex, The camcorder doesn't have ISO settings. You may use NightShot feature for low light shooting. Vincent

When I bought my camera, I checked for this function. It was not possible to take a still photo while also taking movies. I suppose it is possible (although probably not likely) that there has been a 'firmware' update, and now you can, but it could not be done when I bought mine.
