Using a card of SD speed 'Class 4'* or above is recommended for recording motion pictures in
'AVCHD Lite (GPS)'/'AVCHD Lite'.
Using a card of SD speed 'Class 6' ∗ or above is recommended for recording motion pictures in
'MOTION JPEG'.
∗ The SD speed class is a speed rating for continuous writing.
●
Depending on the type of card, a card access message may appear for a while after recording a
motion picture. This is not a defect.
●
If data is repeatedly recorded and deleted, the total available recording time on the SD card may be
reduced. To restore the original capacity, use the camera to format the SD card. Be sure to save all
important data to your computer or other media before formatting, as all data saved to the card will
be erased.
●
Immediately release the motion picture button after pressing it.
●
Sounds of camera operations, such as zoom movement and beeps may be recorded.
●
The zoom speed is slower than normal.
●
[STABILIZER] is fixed at [MODE 1] regardless of the setting before motion picture recording.
●
To fix the focus setting, set [CONTINUOUS AF] to [OFF].

Recording automatically ends when there is no more available space. For certain memory cards,
recording may end while in progress.
●
The screen can become narrower in motion pictures compared to still pictures. Also, if the aspect
ratio is different for still pictures and motion pictures, the angle of view will change when starting to
record a motion picture. The recordable area is displayed by setting [REC AREA] (→24) to [ON].
●
If Extra optical zoom was used before pressing the motion picture button, these settings will be
cleared, and the recordable area will be larger.
●

Fast-moving subjects in motion pictures may appear blurred during playback.
●
Depending on the environment when recording motion pictures, the screen may turn black for an
instant or noise may be recorded because of static electricity, electromagnetic waves, etc.
●
This camera has new sound recording specifications to improve sound quality. Therefore in some
cases motion pictures recorded in [MOTION JPEG] may not be able to play back in Panasonic's
LUMIX ∗ digital cameras. (Motion pictures recorded with Panasonic's LUMIX digital camera can be
played back with this digital camera)
∗ Applies to LUMIX cameras sold through December 2008 and some sold in 2009 (FS, LS series)
●
When recording motion pictures, it is recommended to use a sufficiently charged battery or an AC
adaptor (optional) and DC coupler (optional).
●
When recording motion pictures using an AC adaptor, if you unplug the AC adaptor or a power
outage occurs, power to the camera is cut, and the motion picture in progress is no longer recorded.
●
The recording may stop even if there is more space left in the card depending on the life of the
battery.
●
If power is lost while using the AC adaptor to record a motion picture (e.g. power failure, cable
disconnection, etc), the motion picture being recorded will be lost. Using a sufficiently-charged
battery in conjunction with the AC adaptor is recommended.
