during motion picture recording
When using an SD card other than one that can be used for motion picture recording (l 26), the recording may stop suddenly. At this time, the following message appears.
When motion pictures are to be recorded, use a Panasonic SD card or another SD card which can be used to record motion pictures. (l 26)
