I have exactly the same experience. I see a picture in my mind briefly for a nanosecond and then it is gone and irretrievable. If I have a photograph of the requested image, like a Facebook profile picture, it will replace today’s reality and appear for a second and disappear, again with no replacement. I can’t hold a picture for more than a blink, to describe what I see. There is no video aspect to it at all.  I can have a conversation about what I saw. If you ask me to imagine my mother I will imagine a photograph of her flashing briefly, even if I saw of her today 20 years later. I might answer “I saw my mother being silly at the restaurant.”
