1. Basic operations
1-12. Memory card
The unit’s video memory data and setup data can be stored on memory card.
Conversely, this data can be loaded from the memory card to the unit.
Furthermore, it is possible to upgrade the unit’s software.
ppIt may take a while to store a moving image of a long recording time with high image quality or a still image file with high image quality on the memory card. (Approximately 10 minutes is necessary when data with total size of about 490 MB stored in “All file” is saved to a Panasonic Class 8 SDHC memory card.)
Video memory (still image data: Still1, Still2):
<File formats supported>
Bitmap (bmp), JPEG (jpg), TARGA (tga), TIFF (tif), GIF (gif), PNG (png)
<Applicable sizes>
HD/1080i: 19201080
HD/1080PsF:19201080
HD/720p: 1280720
SD/NTSC: 720487
SD/PAL: 720576
ppThe size of images is converted automatically if it does not match any of the “applicable sizes”.
ppThe pixels of images in SD format are not square, so the aspect ratio will be different when the images are displayed on the computer and when they are imported into video memory (with NTSC format, they will be vertically long).
To keep the images true to their actual proportions, make sure the original size is 720540 pixels. If the images are in NTSC format, use images shrunk to 720487 pixels. If the images are in PAL format, use images enlarged to 720576 pixels.
