	AVCHD Lite	This format enables an extended recording time in high-resolution
		compared to motion pictures recorded in Motion JPEG at the

	MOTION JPEG	allows even small picture sizes to be recorded. The data format is
		useful when there is little space left on a memory card or when the

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).

Motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ can be played back in AVCHD-compliant equipment only. Playback is not possible in equipment that does not support the AVCHD standard (such as conventional DVD recorders), and so check the compatibility in your equipment’s operation manual.

Please confirm the detailed information on the following website. http://panasonic.co.jp/pavc/global/cs

(This Site is English only.)

Motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ format cannot be played back on non- AVCHD-compatible devices (standard DVD players, etc).

In some cases, motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ and ‘MOTION JPEG’ may have poor image quality or sound quality during playback or may not be able to be played back even when using equipment supporting these standards. The recording information also may not be displayed correctly. If this happens, play the motion pictures back using the camera.

Motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ are not compliant with DCF and Exif, and so some information (such as the picture number and white balance) are not displayed during playback.

Using a card of SD speed ‘Class 6’ or above is recommended for recording motion pictures.

The SD speed class is a speed rating for continuous writing.

Using a high-speed card with a specified speed (e.g. on packaging) of at least 10 MB/s is recommended when ‘REC QUALITY’ is set to ‘HD’, ‘WVGA’, or ‘VGA’.

Motion pictures cannot be recorded to MultiMediaCards.

To play back motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ format using a computer, please use the ‘PHOTOfunSTUDIO’ software on the CD-ROM supplied.

REC MODE is not available in the DMC-ZS1.
