• AVCHD is a new standard for recording HD signals onto memory cards, DVD discs, and hard disks. It uses the H.264 standard to achieve more than twice the compression of conventional MPEG2 

and MPEG4 standards. • AVCHD motion images recorded onto an SD Memory Card or a DVD disc cannot be played from a device that does not support the AVCHD standard. • Do not insert a disc 

containing AVCHD-recorded images into a device that does not support the AVCHD standard. The disc cannot be played on such a device,  and it may not be possible to remove the disc once inserted.

•The remaining battery capacity is displayed in minutes when using the applicable Panasonic battery. •When using batteries made by other companies the remaining battery capacity will not be shown. •We cannot 

accept any liability whatsoever for damages to the unit or accidents caused by non-genuine Panasonic batteries (including those that have been certified by Panasonic).
