Sony DSC-HX100V - Tip - Fasten Lens Cap to Camera Strap (HD)

This is a response to the many, many requests I have received about how to fasten the lens cap and camera strap to the Sony DSC-HX100V. This technique will work with any camera that has a similar lens cap and strap. I hope this is helpful for those of you who requested the information.

+This video was shot indoors, with three cameras: Nikon D90, Sony DSC-HX9V, Kodak PlaySport ZX5
+The PlaySport ZX5 camera was in macro mode
+The Nikon D90 and PlaySport ZX5 were on tripods
+No filters or plug-ins were used on the video

Hello everybody. I can not do photos while recording video. Is this problem only with my camera or do yoyhave the same? Maybe I do smth wrong?

@thebobbyzy - If you select the highest mode for videos (the AVCHD28M PS mode), you will not be able to capture still images while the video is being recorded. However, in the FX, FH and HQ modes, you will be able to capture still images while recording video--just press the shutter button and you'll see the 'Capture' info in the upper right hand corner. In highest resolution mode, the camera's processor and sensor are dedicated to capturing the highest quality video possible.

Not that I don't believe you, but can I have proof about Sony engineering the cap to pop off?

The explanation on how to do this is also in the manual on the Sony DSC-HX100V CD.
