Pansonic G7 camera causes pauses in video when taking stills

I'm certain it must be some way the camera has been setup as when I was testing the Panasonic G7 outside the camera shop, taking stills while video recording there was no interruption to the video and I got the stills OK.
At the moment I get a 1 second pause in the video on playback that has occurred the moment I pressed the shutter button while the video was recording. Also the screen blanks out (turn black) for a second). I can understand this happening on a mirrored camera when the mirror needs to flip up but not on a mirrorless camera.

The only thing I can think of is that it does has something to do with using the electronic shutter. Maybe someone knows the cause.
