Advanced (Recording pictures)

Note

•It is recommended to use a card with SD Speed Class¢ with “Class 6” or higher when recording

motion pictures.

¢The SD Speed Class Rating is the speed standard for successive writes.

•When you set the picture quality to [], [ ] or [], we recommend using a high-speed card with “10MB/s” or greater displayed on the package.

•The motion picture recording may stop in the middle when any of the following cards are used.

–Cards on which recording and deleting have been repeated many times

–Cards which have been formatted using a PC or other equipment

Before taking pictures, format (P37) the card in the unit. Because formatting will delete all data recorded on the card, save important data beforehand on the computer.

•Motion pictures recorded in [AVCHD Lite] or [MOTION JPEG] may be played back with poor picture or sound quality or playback may not be possible even when played back with equipment compatible with these formats. Also, the recording information may not be displayed properly. In this case, use this unit.

•Motion picture recorded in [AVCHD Lite] cannot be played back on the equipment that is not compatible to the AVCHD (conventional DVD recorder, etc.), so read the instruction manual for the equipment in use for the action.

quality. For this reason, some motion pictures recorded in [MOTION JPEG] may not be played back with Panasonic digital cameras (LUMIX)¢.
