Abstract
Systems for capturing and embedding high-resolution still image data in a sequence of video data are disclosed. An exemplar system comprises an image capture element for capturing a sequence of video data during a first mode of operation, the sequence of video data captured at a first resolution, a user interface for entering into a second mode of operation, the second mode of operation being at a second resolution, the second resolution being greater than the first resolution, and a memory for storing data captured at the second resolution. Corresponding exemplar methods and computer readable media are also disclosed.

A system for capturing and embedding high-resolution still image data in a sequence of video data, comprising:
- an image capture element for capturing a sequence of video data during a first mode of operation, the sequence of video data captured at a first resolution;
- a user interface for entering into a second mode of operation, the second mode of operation being at a second resolution, the second resolution being greater than the first resolution;
- and
- a memory for storing data captured at the second resolution.
A method for capturing and embedding high-resolution still image data in a sequence of video data, comprising:
- capturing a sequence of video data during a first mode of operation, the sequence of video data captured at a first resolution;
- entering into a second mode of operation, the second mode of operation being at a second resolution, the second resolution being greater than the first resolution;
- capturing data at the second resolution;
- and
- storing the data captured at the second resolution.
A digital video camera having a system for capturing and embedding high-resolution still image data in a sequence of video data, comprising:
- an image capture element for capturing a sequence of video data during a first mode of operation, the sequence of video data captured at a first resolution;
- a user interface for entering into a second mode of operation, the second mode of operation being at a second resolution, the second resolution being greater than the first resolution;
- and
- a memory for storing data captured at the second resolution.
A computer readable media having a program for capturing and embedding high-resolution still image data in a sequence of video data, the program comprising logic for:
- capturing a sequence of video data during a first mode of operation, the sequence of video data captured at a first resolution;
- entering into a second mode of operation, the second mode of operation being at a second resolution, the second resolution being greater than the first resolution;
- capturing data at the second resolution;
- and
- storing the data captured at the second resolution.
