** These are standard times taken at a temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) and a humidity of 50%RH. The time available for recording varies depending on the environment, the interval between recordings, and the manner of use. 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 in Europe and some Asian areas.
• Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [MP4] is 29 minutes 59 seconds or up to 4 GB.
• You can check the recordable time on the monitor. (For [FHD] in [MP4] format, the file size is large and so the recordable time will drop below 29 minutes 59 seconds.)
• Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 4" or higher when recording motion images. (SD speed class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.)
• SDHC Memory Cards and SDXC Memory Cards can be used only in equipment that is compatible with their respective formats.
• If the computer being used does not support SDXC Memory Cards, a message prompting you to format may appear. (Doing so will cause recorded images to be erased so do not choose to format.) If the card is not recognized, please refer to the below support site.
http://panasonic.net/avc/sdcard/information/SDXC.html
*** Shooting conditions: 23°C with 50%RH humidity; Monitor on; using a Panasonic SDHC Memory Card; Using the supplied battery; Using the supplied lens; Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on (When the optical image stabilizer is set to [Normal])
; Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording; Turn the camera off every 10 recordings. 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. CIPA is an abbreviation of "Camera & Imaging Products Association".
Partial restrictions on using Panasonic digital video cameras to play AVCHD motion images recorded with the DMC-G6.
• AVCHD videos recorded onto an SD Memory Card or a DVD disc cannot be played on a device that does not support the AVCHD standard.
• AVCHD motion images recorded with the image quality set to 1,280 × 720 cannot be played on AVCHD-compatible digital video cameras.
• AVCHD motion images recorded with AVCHD-compatible digital video cameras cannot be played on the DMC-G6.
• More detailed information is available on our support site: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/
About the performance of Face Recognition function
Recognition performance varies greatly depending on shooting conditions, i.e., according to factors such as angles, facial expression and lighting, so operation under all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Because the camera searches for faces that are similar to registered faces,
there are cases where the faces are not correctly recognized when the registered image and the shooting image varies much. When facial characteristics are similar, particularly between parents and their children or brothers and sisters, the camera may not distinguish the faces.
