provided for reference only. The actual number of images you may be able to record may be less than that indicated on the monitor screen.

*Image files sizes are approximate and are provided for reference only. Actual image file sizes vary depending on subject type.

*The above values are based on use of a Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. PRO HIGH SPEED SD memory card. The number of images you can save depends on the type of memory card you are using.

*To determine the number of images that can be stored on a memory card of a different capacity, multiply the capacities in the table by the appropriate value.

*Each movie can be up to 10 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically after 10 minutes of recording.
