Panasonic DMCTS4A, DMCTS4K, DMCTS4D 197, Lens, Motion Picture Recording stops in the middle

Others

Motion Picture Recording stops in the middle.

•Use a card with SD Speed Class with “Class 4” or higher when recording motion pictures.

•Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.

>If Motion Picture Recording stops during use of a card of at least “Class 4” or if you use a card that has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the data-writing speed is lower. In such cases, we recommend that you make a backup of the data and then format (P60) the card in this unit.

Subject cannot be locked. (AF tracking not possible)

•Set the AF area to the distinctive color of the subject if there is a part that is different from the surrounding color. (P99)

Recording by [Panorama Shot] is ended before finishing.

•If the camera is moved too slowly, the camera has assumed that camera motion was stopped and will end the still picture recording.

•If there is a great deal of shaking towards the recording direction while moving the camera, recording will end.

>When recording with [Panorama Shot], move the camera by trying to trace a small circle parallel to the recording direction at a speed of about 8 seconds per revolution (estimated).

Lens

Recorded image may be warped, or nonexistent color is surrounding the subject.

•It is possible that the subject may be warped slightly, or the borders get colored, depending on the zoom magnification, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals of the image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is used. This is not a malfunction.

The inner side of the lens is fogged.

•The inside of the lens may fog due to condensation depending on the environment this unit is used in, areas that undergo a significant change in temperature or in high humidity, etc. Refer to “When inner side of the lens is fogged (condensation)” on P6 for directions.
