Recording conditions by CIPA standard
• CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].
• Normal Picture Mode.
• Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 oF)/Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on.
• Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (32 MB).
• Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on.
• Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording.
• Rotating the zoom lever 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).]

– When using [AUTO POWER LCD], [POWER LCD] and [HIGH ANGLE] (P24).
