Why is my camera taking pictures in .MOV format?

As other have asked without an answer.

I take a still photo, the yellow LIVE text appears and I get a .JPG and .MOV file stored.

The MOV file has a 1 second movie image of the photo.

Is this the Keep Normal Photo HDR (High Dynamic Range) mentioned?

What value is it?

camera issues Hi all - Using iOS v14.xx camera... images are now saved as .heic format - previously I was able to save as .jpg is that setting still available - if so where is it? Also in Mojave when using image capture to import images get converted to .jpg - Is there a setting to NOT convert? And .mov seem to get converted also but to the same .mov format - what is going on with this? why are they converting to the same format of .mov?

What determines the number of frames in a live photo? I'm currently working to export the .mov file of a live photo and break it out into individual .jpg's made up of all of it's frames. I can take the exact same photo and each one will have a different number of frames that make up it's .mov file. Does anyone know how the camera app decided which frames are usable and saved to the live photo?

Hasselblad L2D-20c RAW files Hello folks Does anyone of you guys have an idea of how to get the problem solved with the DNG photos on my Mac. You see this fancy black bar at the bottom of the pictures. Funny thing is on my iPhone or iPad I don't have this. Somehow the Photo App on my Mac is not recognize the RAW profile of the Hasselblad. This is the new Camera on my DJI Mavic 3 Cine. Fun fact other software like Dropbox preview or view in the browser don't show this at all. If you export the picture after editing the Black bar will be in the picture and stays in there. It would be great to get an answer as I don't want to get an Adobe subscription. Thank you in advance for your feedback Greetings Roger

That's part of being the Live Photo. The "live" part captures a sequence of images as a MOV file.
