PIV Image Size: What is it and how does it differ from Video Recording Modes?

[Kristina Fowler]

I hate to admit this, but I'm baffled by the meaning of "PIV Image Size" regarding the P4P. I realize it's about the camera capability (image size and frame rates; I understand frame rates and image size), but I'm clueless (even after Googling) as to what "PIV" is. What's the difference between "PIV Image Size" and "Video Recording Modes" as it appears on the DJI website?

This machine also provides what DJI calls the “PIV” option – meaning Picture-in-Video. If you’re shooting video and want to snag a still on the fly, you can do so, with the only caveat that the still photo will be the same resolution as the video format.
