Refer to P148 for information about the available recording time.
The available recording time displayed on the screen may not decrease regularly.
Depending on the type of the card, the card access indication may appear for a while
after recording motion pictures. This is not a malfunction.
When motion pictures recorded with the camera are played back on other equipment,
the quality of the picture and sound may deteriorate and it may not be possible to play
them back. Also the recording information may not be displayed correctly.
This camera has improved sound quality so motion pictures recorded on this camera
cannot be played back on a Panasonic Digital Camera (LUMIX models) that was sold
in July 2008 or before. (However, motion pictures recorded on previous models can be
played back on this camera.)
In Motion Picture Mode, Direction Detection function cannot be used.
In the Motion Picture Mode, [AF MODE] is xed to [\] and [STABILIZER] to [MODE1].
[DIGITAL ZOOM] and [AF ASSIST LAMP] cannot be set in Motion Picture Mode. Setting
of other Recording Mode will be reected.
Compared to still pictures, motion pictures may have a narrow angle of view.
We recommend you use a battery with sufcient battery power or the AC adaptor when
recording motion pictures.
If while recording motion pictures using the AC adaptor the power supply is cut off
due to a power cut or if the AC adaptor is disconnected etc., the motion picture being
recorded will not be recorded.
The sound of the button operation may be recorded when it is operated during the
recording of a motion picture.
