ªWhen recording stops suddenlyduring motion picture recording

When using an SD card other than one that can be used for motion picture recording (l27), the recording may stop suddenly. At this time, the following message appears.

When motion pictures are to be recorded, use a Panasonic SD card or another SD card which can be used to record motion pictures. (l27)

Even if you use an SD card that can be used for motion picture recording (l27), this kind of message may appear.

The data on the card has been written many times and the data writing speed has reduced. We recommend formatting the SD card being used. (l78) When an SD card is formatted, all the data recorded on it will be deleted so copy valuable data to the PC prior to formatting.
