Take photos while recording video with Google’s camera app

If you can't decide between photo and video, the Google Camera app simply takes a picture while filming:

1. While you're filming, just tap the screen at the time you want.
2. You can recognize the snapshot by the fact that your screen lights up briefly.
3. You will then find the picture in your gallery on your smartphone.
