NOTE

  • *1 Recording conditions by CIPA standard
    - Temperature: 23 ℃ (73.4 ℉) / Humidity: 50%RH when monitor is on.
    - Using a Panasonic SDHC Memory Card
    - Using the supplied battery.
    - Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the optical image stabilizer function is set to [ON].)
    - Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording.
    - Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide or vice versa in every recording.
    - The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time.
    - If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures decreases.
    - CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].

    *2 About motion picture recording
    - Use a card with SD Speed Class with UHS-I Speed Class 3 (U3) when recording motion pictures in [4K] or [4K PHOTO].
    - Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 15 minutes in [4K].
    - Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 29 minutes and 59 seconds in [FHD/60p] [FHD/50p] [High Speed Video HD/30p] [High Speed Video HD/25p].

    [4K]
    - When using an SDHC memory card: You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4 GB, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.
    - When using an SDXC memory card: You can record a motion picture in a single file.

    [FHD] [HD] [VGA]
    - You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4 GB, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.

    *3 For [4K] video output, use an HDMI cable that has the HDMI logo on it, and that is described as"4K compatible".
