Preparation
Recording still pictures
Recording conditions by CIPA standard
CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera& Imaging Products Association].
Temperature:23 oC (73.4 oF)/Humidity: 50%RH when LCD monitor is on.
Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (32MB).
Using the supplied battery.
Starting recording 30seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the Optical Image Stabiliser
function is set to [ON].)
Recording once every 30seconds using full flash every second recording.
Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide or vice versa in every recording.
Turning the camera off every 10recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery
decreases.
The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time. As
the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures
decreases. [For example, if you were to take one picture every two minutes, then the
number of pictures would be reduced to approximately one-quarter of the number of
pictures given above (based upon one picture taken every 30 seconds).]
Recording motion pictures
These times are for an ambient temperature of 23oC (73.4 oF) and a humidity of 50%RH. Please be
aware that these times are approximate.
Actual recordable time is the time available for recording when repeating actions such as turning this
unit on and off, starting/stopping recording, zoom operation, etc.
Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [AVCHD] is 29minutes 59 seconds.
Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [MP4] is 29minutes 59 seconds or up to
4GB.
You can check the recordable time on the screen. (For [FHD/25p] in [MP4] format, the file size is
large and so the recordable time will drop below 29minutes 59 seconds.)
