Panasonic DMC-G2K Lens, Motion picture recording stops in the middle, Object seems to be warped

Others

Motion pictures

Motion picture recording stops in the middle.

•Use a card with SD Speed Class¢ with “Class 4” or higher when recording motion pictures in [AVCHD Lite].

Also, use a card with SD Speed Class with “Class 6” or higher when recording motion pictures in [MOTION JPEG].

¢SD Speed Class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.

•Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.

>If motion picture recording stops during use of a card of at least “Class 4” or if you use a card that has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the data-writing speed is lower. In such cases, we recommend that you make a backup of the data and then format (P39) the card in this unit.

Object seems to be warped.

•Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves across the image very fast, but this is because the unit is using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.

In motion pictures, abnormal clicking and buzzing sounds are recorded. The recorded sound is very quiet.

•With recording in a quiet environment, depending on the lenses used, the sound of aperture and focus actions may be recorded in motion pictures. This is not a malfunction. Focus operation while recording motion pictures can be set to [OFF] with [CONTINUOUS AF] (P135).

•Be careful while recording motion pictures because the sounds of the zoom operations, buttons and dial operation etc. may be recorded.

•While recording motion pictures, plugging the aperture of the microphone with a finger may reduce the level of audio recording or audio may not record at all. Also be careful because the operation sound of lenses can easily be recorded at this time.

Lens

Recorded image may be warped, or nonexistent color is surrounding the subject.

•Depending on the lens used, picture may be warped slightly or you may see colors along the edge depending on the zoom factor, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals of the image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is used. This is not a malfunction.

When the lens is attached to another digital camera, stabilizer function cannot be turned off or stabilizer function does not work.

•The Optical Image Stabilizer function of the 14–42 mm/F3.5–5.6 lens included in DMC-G2K only works correctly with supported cameras.

>When older Panasonic digital cameras (DMC-GF1, DMC-GH1, DMC-G1) are used, [STABILIZER] in the [REC] Mode menu (P129) cannot be set to [OFF]. It is recommended to update the firmware of the digital camera at the following website. http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/

>When using this lens with another make of digital cameras, the Optical Image Stabilizer function will not work. (As of March 2010)
