Advanced (Recording pictures)

•The 20 mm/F1.7 interchangeable lens included in the DMC-GF1C utilises a lens drive system to realise a compact and bright F1.7 lens. As a result, sound and vibration may occur during focus operation, but this is not a malfunction.

•Operating sounds will be recorded when Auto Focus is performed during Motion Picture Recording. It is recommended to record with [CONTINUOUS AF] (P103) set to [OFF], if the sound of operation bothers you to avoid recording the lens noise.

•The 20 mm/F1.7 interchangeable lens included in the DMC-GF1C cannot be set to [AFC].

Start recording by pressing the motion picture button.

•The available recording time displayed on the screen may not decrease regularly.

•Depending on the type of the card, the card access indication may appear for a while after recording motion pictures. This is not a malfunction.

•The operational sound of the zoom or button operation may be recorded when it is operated during the recording of a motion picture.

•Audio will not be recorded for 0.5 seconds after it starts recording if it is kept pressed. Release the motion picture button right after you press it.

•The screen may be blacked out momentarily, or the unit may record noise due to static electricity or electromagnetic waves etc. depending on the environment of the motion picture recording.

•When operating the zoom when recording motion pictures, it may take time to come into focus.

•If The Extended Optical Zoom was used before pressing the motion picture button, those settings will be cleared, so the focus range will change dramatically.
