FS7: Single Frame Recording?

Coming from a Sony PMW-EX1/EX3 line, which has a feature called Frame Record, I cannot find that feature on the FS7.

This is not S&Q mode.

It was handy for stop motion animation work.

Is this implemented on the FS7, and if so, how do I enable it?
 
Don't think it is, no. I'd be very surprised because I don't think the FS7 can record clips less than 2 seconds long. Occasionally when running 1fps S&Q timelapses and aborting before 50sec (realtime) has elapsed, I've had the friendly "Could not record clip. Insufficient duration." message (wording from memory, not exact).

Maybe a stills camera would be better for this application.

Cheers,

I couldn't find the same feature as the EX1/3 but I had to do some stop motion with the FS7 and used the 1 frame every 10 seconds (to allow us to hurriedly change the subject). Not ideal, but still worked.
 
I suppose the duration could be slowed to 20, 30 or 60 seconds? I know in S&Q it is possible to record 1 frame every second, but slower than that, I don't know.
 
You could use interval recording and set the amount of time between frames for recording.
I use it for timelapses all the time.

Specifically

Recording -> Interval Rec -> Setting : ON

Interval Time 1 sec -> 24 hrs
# of frames - 1frame, 3, 6 or 9
