Taking motion pictures
●If the surrounding temperature is high, or a motion picture is recorded
continuously, is displayed and recording may be stopped halfway through to
protect the camera. (Only when [Rec Quality] is set to [GPH] DMC-ZS20 , [PSH],
[GFS] DMC-ZS20 or [FSH])
●Use a sufficiently charged battery.
●The available recording time displayed on the screen may not decrease regularly.
●If data is repeatedly recorded and deleted, the total available recording time on the SD
card may be reduced. To restore the original capacity, use the camera to format the
SD card. Be sure to save all important data to your computer or other media before
formatting, as all data saved to the card will be erased.
●The Optical Image Stabilizer functions regardless of the settings before a motion picture
is recorded.
●The following functions are not available:
Extended optical zoom, flash, [Face Recog.], [Rotate Disp.] for pictures taken vertically.
●For certain memory cards, recording may end while in progress.
●The recording range may become narrower in motion pictures compared to still
pictures. Also, if the Aspect Ratio is different for still pictures and motion pictures, the
angle of view will change when starting to record a motion picture. The recordable area
is displayed by setting [Video Rec Area] (→56) to [ON].
●If Extended optical zoom is used before pressing the motion picture button, these
settings will be cleared, and the recordable area will be changed significantly.
���Depending on the environment when recording motion pictures, the screen may
turn black for an instant or noise may be recorded because of static electricity,
electromagnetic waves, etc.
