I don't understand the moving picture on my camera roll

When I review my photos on the camera roll, it seems that the actual picture taken is actually a one second small video.

I thought this was perhaps a way you could maybe eliminate someone blinking or something, but it doesn't appear you can choose at what point to save the photo.

So what's it for then?

It's a feature called "Rich Capture"

That is an interesting feature. I had no idea that it had that either.

I now realise I am talking about the Living Images feature though.

Can you select your still from the animation, or is it just the one you are given?

I would like to know the answer as well! I have a 950XL. I cannot find a way to extract a still on the phone. Is this coming in a W10 Mobile update?

This is a feature of W10 I think. But you can turn it off. It's in the general settings in your camera app.
