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
Stabiliser function is set to [On].)
•
Recording once every 30 seconds
using 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
• 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.
• Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [MP4] is 29 minutes 59 seconds.
Also, motion pictures recorded continuously in [MP4] is up to 4 GB. Given this constraint, the
maximum length of continuous recording in [FHD] is approximately 24 minutes 43 seconds.
The maximum available recording time continuously is displayed on the screen.
