You can but they will only be the same as screenshots from the video and as such will not be the same quality as you get when shooting stills only.

I shoot 4K video with my P4A exclusively.   It enables me to get POST pictures with excellent resolution.   No need to worry about snapping photos at 20mp.    Just my .02.

You can only get jpg stills while you are shooting video.

Please follow the advice in 6#. And the resolution of PIV can be checked in specs. Please ensure that you insert SD cards at that time.
