REC/PLAY switch:
MIN. SHTR SPEED
Sets shutter speed to minimum. We recommend using slower shutter speeds to take
brighter pictures in dark locations.
MODE: → REC menu
Settings: 1/250 1/125 1/60 1/30 1/15 1/8 1/4 1/2 1
Slower shutter speeds allow for brighter pictures but increase risk of jitter, so we
recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
As pictures may become dark when using faster values such as ‘1/250’, we recommend
that pictures are taken in bright locations ( flashes red when shutter button is half-
pressed if picture will be dark).

Recording format Effect
AVCHD Lite
This is a data format suitable for playback on high-definition
TVs. This format enables an extended recording time in high-
resolution compared to motion pictures recorded in Motion
JPEG at the same picture size.
MOTION JPEG
This is a data format suitable for playback on computers that
allows even small picture sizes to be recorded. The data
format is useful when there is little space left on a memory
card or when the motion picture file will be attached to an
e-mail from a computer.
The ‘REC QUALITY’ options vary based on the setting.
If a card is not loaded in the camera, the motion picture is automatically recorded in
‘MOTION JPEG’ (REC QUALITY: QVGA).
Motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ can be played back in AVCHD-compliant
equipment only. Playback is not possible in equipment that does not support the
AVCHD standard (such as conventional DVD recorders), and so check the compatibility
in your equipment’s operation manual.
Please confirm the detailed information on the following website.

(This Site is English only.)
Motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ format cannot be played back on non-
AVCHD-compatible devices (standard DVD players, etc).
In some cases, motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ and ‘MOTION JPEG’ may have
poor image quality or sound quality during playback or may not be able to be played back
even when using equipment supporting these standards. The recording information also may
not be displayed correctly. If this happens, play the motion pictures back using the camera.
Motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ are not compliant with DCF and Exif, and so some
information (such as the picture number and white balance) are not displayed during playback.
Using a card of SD speed ‘Class 6’* or above is recommended for recording motion
pictures.
The SD speed class is a speed rating for continuous writing.
Using a high-speed card with a specified speed (e.g. on packaging) of at least 10 MB/s
is recommended when ‘REC QUALITY’ is set to ‘HD’, ‘WVGA’, or ‘VGA’.
Motion pictures cannot be recorded to MultiMediaCards.
To play back motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ format using a computer, please
use the ‘PHOTOfunSTUDIO’ software on the CD-ROM supplied.
REC MODE is not available in the DMC-TZ6/DMC-TZ65.
