Recording pictures (advanced)

•The motion images cannot be recorded without audio.

•The settings of auto focus/zoom/aperture values are fixed to what they are when recording starts (in the first frame).

•Depending on the type of card, the card access indication appears for a while after recording motion images. However, this is not a malfunction.

•When you set the picture quality to [30fpsVGA] or depending on the type of card, recording may stop while you are recording motion images. We recommend using a high-speed SD memory card indicated with “20 MB/s” or above on its package.

•If you use a card in which pictures have been recorded and deleted repeatedly, recording may stop in the middle while you are recording motion images. We recommend you to clean up the card in advance. (P81)

•We recommend using Panasonic’s SD Memory Card. (Use only the genuine SD card with SD Logo.)

•When motion images recorded with the camera are played back on other equipment, the quality of pictures and sounds may be deteriorated or it may not be possible to play them back.

•Motion images recorded with setting to [30fpsVGA], [30fpsQVGA] or [10fpsVGA] on this camera cannot be played back on equipment which does not support these settings.

•In motion image mode [ ], you cannot use the direction detection function and

the review function.

•You cannot set [MODE2] on the optical image stabilizer function.
