When recording motion pictures, it is recommended to use a sufficiently charged battery or an AC
adaptor (optional) and DC coupler (optional).
●
When recording motion pictures using an AC adaptor, if you unplug the AC adaptor or a power
outage occurs, power to the camera is cut, and the motion picture in progress is no longer recorded.
●
If you attempt to play motion pictures recorded with the camera on other devices, playback may not
be possible, or the picture or sound quality may be poor. Additionally, incorrect recording information
may be indicated.
●
Motion pictures recorded with the camera cannot be played on Panasonic LUMIX digital cameras
sold before July 2008. (However, motion pictures recorded with LUMIX digital cameras sold before
this date can be played on this camera.)
●
This camera has new sound recording specifications to improve sound quality. Therefore in some
cases motion pictures recorded in [MOTION JPEG] may not be able to play back in Panasonic’s

digital cameras. (Motion pictures recorded with Panasonic’s LUMIX digital camera can be
played back with this digital camera)
