Panasonic DMC-G2R Operating Instructions Manual page 197

Motion picture recording stops in the middle.
•
Use a card with SD Speed Class
[AVCHD Lite].
Also, use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 6" or higher when recording motion pictures
in [MOTION JPEG].
¢ SD Speed Class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.
•
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 (P40)
the card in this unit.
Object seems to be warped.
•
Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves across the image very fast, but this
is because the unit is using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.
In motion pictures, abnormal clicking and buzzing sounds are recorded.
The recorded sound is very quiet.
•
With recording in a quiet environment, depending on the lenses used, the sound of aperture
and focus actions may be recorded in motion pictures. This is not a malfunction. Focus
operation while recording motion pictures can be set to [OFF] with [CONTINUOUS AF] (P138).
•
Be careful while recording motion pictures because the sounds of the zoom operations, buttons
and dial operation etc. may be recorded.
•
While recording motion pictures, plugging the aperture of the microphone with a finger may
reduce the level of audio recording or audio may not record at all. Also be careful because the
operation sound of lenses can easily be recorded at this time.
Recorded image may be warped, or nonexistent colour is surrounding the
subject.
•
Depending on the lens used, picture may be warped slightly or you may see colours along the
edge depending on the zoom factor, 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.
When the lens is attached to another digital camera, stabilizer function cannot be
turned off or stabilizer function does not work.
•
The Optical Image Stabilizer function of the 14 – 42 mm/F3.5 – 5.6 lens included in DMC-G2K/
DMC-G2W only works correctly with supported cameras.
> When older Panasonic digital cameras (DMC-GF1, DMC-GH1, DMC-G1) are used,
[STABILIZER] in the [REC] mode menu (P132) cannot be set to [OFF]. It is recommended
to update the firmware of the digital camera at the following website.

> When using this lens with another make of digital cameras, the Optical Image Stabilizer
function will not work. (As of March 2010)
