∗1 The bit rate is the amount of data per unit time. A higher value translates into a higher image
quality. This camera uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording system and the available
recording time is shorter when recording a subject with rapid movements.
∗2 The frame rate is the number of frames per second.

●[WVGA] cannot be set in [INTELLIGENT AUTO] Mode.

●[QVGA] only can be recorded to the built-in memory.

[CONTINUOUS AF]
Either allow the focus to be constantly adjusted during motion picture recording, or fix the
focus position at the start of recording.
■Recording Mode:
■Settings: [ON] : Adjust focus according to movement of subject during motion picture
recording. ( appears on the screen.)
[OFF] : Fix focus position at the start of motion picture recording.

little forward/backward movement.

●The setting is fixed to [OFF] in [STARRY SKY] and [FIREWORKS] Scene Modes.

[WIND CUT]

[AVCHD Lite(GPS
REC)]∗These are AVCHD Lite motion pictures to which location name
information from the start of recording has been added.
[AVCHD Lite]∗This is a data format suitable for playback on high-definition TVs.
[MOTION JPEG]
This is a data format suitable for playback on computers that allows
even small picture sizes to be recorded. Location name information
from the start of recording can also be recorded.
∗ When the term “AVCHD Lite motion picture” is used in this manual, it means a motion picture
recorded in [AVCHD Lite(GPS REC)] or [AVCHD Lite].

●The [REC QUALITY] options vary based on the setting.

●If a card is not loaded in the camera, the motion picture is automatically recorded in [MOTION

JPEG] ([REC QUALITY]: [QVGA]).

●Even when devices are compatible with motion pictures recorded with this camera, the playback

may have poor picture or sound quality, or playback may not be possible. Also, the recording
information may not be displayed properly. In this case, use this unit.
For details on AVCHD compatible devices, refer to the support sites below.

(This Site is English only.)

●AVCHD Lite motion pictures cannot be played back on devices not compatible with AVCHD (such as

conventional DVD recorders). Also, motion pictures recorded in [AVCHD Lite(GPS REC)] cannot be
played back with Panasonic digital cameras (LUMIX) compatible with AVCHD (Lite) recording that
were sold in or before 2009.

●If positioning fails and location name information is not saved, the location name information is not

recorded.

●Because AVCHD Lite motion pictures do not conform to DCF and Exif, some information (such as

picture number, White Balance, etc.) is not displayed during playback.

●Using a card of SD speed ‘Class 4’∗ or above is recommended for recording motion pictures in

[AVCHD Lite(GPS REC)]/[AVCHD Lite].
Using a card of SD speed ‘Class 6’∗ or above is recommended for recording motion pictures in
‘MOTION JPEG’.
∗ The SD speed class is a speed rating for continuous writing.
