(By CIPA standard in Programme AE Mode)
Recording conditions by CIPA standard
•
CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].
• Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 oF)/Humidity: 50%RH when LCD monitor is on.
• Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (2 GB).
• Using the supplied battery.
• Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on.
(When attaching an interchangeable lens compatible with the optical image stabiliser function,
set the optical image stabiliser to [ ])
• Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording.
• When an interchangeable lens compatible with power zoom (electrically operated zoom) is
attached, the zoom moves from Tele to Wide or from Wide to Tele on each 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).]
