Recording still pictures
Recording conditions by CIPA standard
•
CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].
•
Temperature: 23
o
C (73.4
o
F)/Humidity: 50%RH when LCD monitor is on.
•
Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (32 MB).
•
Using the supplied battery.
•
Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the Optical Image
Stabilizer function is set to [On].)
•
Recording once every 30 seconds
with full flash every second recording.
•
Changing the zoom magnification from Tele to Wide or vice versa in every recording.
•
Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery
decreases.
The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time.
If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures
decreases. [For example, if you were to take one picture every two minutes, then the
number of pictures would be reduced to approximately one-quarter of the number
of pictures given above (based upon one picture taken every 30 seconds).]

Recording motion pictures (When using the LCD monitor)
•
These times are for an ambient temperature of 23
o
C (73.4
o
F) and a humidity of 50%RH.
Please be aware that these times are approximate.
•
Actual recordable time is the time available for recording when repeating actions such as
switching the power supply [ON]/[OFF], starting/stopping recording, zoom operation etc.
•
Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [AVCHD] is 29 minutes 59 seconds.
(excluding when [SH] is set)
•
Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [MP4] is 29 minutes 59 seconds.
Also, motion picture recorded continuously in [MP4] is up to 4 GB. The maximum available
recording time continuously is displayed on the screen.

Playback
Note
•
The operating times and number of recordable pictures will differ according to the
environment and the operating conditions.
For example, in the following cases, the operating times shorten and the number of recordable
pictures is reduced.
–
In low-temperature environments, such as on ski slopes.
–
When using [LCD Mode].
–
When operations such as flash and zoom are used repeatedly.
•
When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging
the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.
