Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ10 Operating Instructions Manual page 147

The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.
•
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may
introduce slight changes to brightness and colour. These are a result of the characteristics of the
light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
When recording pictures or half-pressing the shutter button, reddish stripes may
appear on the monitor. Alternatively, part or all of the monitor may turn a reddish
colour.
•
This is a characteristic of CCDs, and it appears when the subject has a bright
part. Some unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but this is not a
malfunction.
It is recorded in motion pictures but is not recorded on still pictures.
•
It is recommended that when you take pictures you take care not to expose
the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
Motion picture recording stops in the middle.
•
Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 6" or higher when recording motion pictures.
•
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 6" 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
Recording by Panorama Shot Mode is ended before finishing.
•
If the camera is moved too slowly, the camera assumes that camera motion was stopped and ends
the still picture recording.
•
If there is a lot of camera shake in the recording direction while moving the camera, recording ends.
> When recording in Panorama Shot Mode, try to trace a small half-circle parallel to the recording
direction, taking about 4 seconds to complete the half-circle (approximate).
> When recording panorama pictures in Self Shot Mode, swivel the camera around its centre at a
speed of about 2 seconds per quarter revolution (approximate).
The Burst speed is slow.
•
Depending on the operating conditions, it may take time to take the next picture if you repeat
the recording of pictures.
•
It may take time to save pictures taken in Burst Mode on the card. If you take pictures
continuously while saving, the maximum number of recordable pictures decreases. For
continuous shooting, use of a high speed memory card is recommended.
•
The burst speed (pictures/second) may become slower depending on the recording
environment. For example, it may become slower in dark locations.
•
The burst speed becomes slower halfway.
The exact timing of this depends on the type of card and the Picture Size.
