n Available recording time (seconds)
• The recordable time is an approximation. 
(Actual times depend on recording 
conditions and the type of SD card.)
• Recording time depends on the subject.
• The remaining recordable time shown on 
the LCD may not reduce regularly.
• This camera cannot take motion pictures 
if you are using a MultiMediaCard.
• The motion pictures cannot be recorded 
without audio.
• The settings of auto focus/zoom/aperture 
values are fixed to what they are when 
recording starts (in the first frame).
• Depending on the type of card you are 
using, the card access indication may 
appear for a while after shooting motion 
pictures. This is normal.
• When you set the [PICT.MODE] to 
[30fpsVGA] or [30fps16:9], use cards that 
have a speed of 10 MB/second or better 
(shown on the card packaging) for best 
results.
• Shooting may stop unexpectedly with 
some types of card or if you use a card 
whose memory has been fragmented 
by repeated shooting and erasure. 
Clean up the card with this unit 
beforehand for best results (P103).
• We recommend using Panasonic’s SD 
Memory Card. (Use only the genuine 
SD card with SD Logo.)
• When motion pictures recorded with this 
camera are played back on other 
equipment, the quality of pictures and 
sounds may be deteriorated or it may not 
be possible to play them back.
• Motion pictures you have recorded at 
[30fpsVGA], [30fpsQVGA], [30fps16:9], 
and [10fpsVGA] can only be shown on 
compatible players.
• In motion picture mode [i], you cannot 
use the direction detection function and 
the review function.
• You cannot set [MODE2] on the Optical 
Image Stabilizer function.
