∫About motion picture playback on a PC
Use the software “QuickTime” 
(for Windows 2000/XP) in the CD-ROM 
(supplied) to play back motion pictures 
recorded on this camera on a PC.
 If you use “Windows 98/98SE/Me”, 
download “QuickTime 6.5.2 for PC” from 
the following site, and install it.
http://www.apple.com/support/quicktime/
 This software is installed as standard on a 
“Macintosh OS”.
∫Folder Composition
Folders are displayed as shown in the 
following illustration.
1Folder number
2File number
3JPG: pictures
MOV: motion pictures
 The data for up to 999 pictures recorded 
by the camera can be included in 1 folder.

number, select [NO.RESET] in the 
[SETUP] menu. (P22)∫Conditions under which a different 
folder number is used
In the following cases, the picture is not

in a folder with a new number. 
1When the folder just recorded to contains 
a picture file with the number 999 in it 
(example: P1000999.JPG).
2When the card just recorded to contains, 
for example, a folder with the number 
100 (100_PANA) in it and that card is 
removed and replaced with a card that

recorded by a camera from a different 
maker (100XXXXX, with XXXXX being 
the name of the maker) and then a 
picture is recorded.
3When recording after selecting 
[NO.RESET] (P22) from the [SETUP] 
menu. (Pictures will be recorded to a 
new folder with a number sequential to 
the folder recorded to immediately 
before. By using [NO.RESET] on a card 
that does not contain folders or pictures, 
such as one just formatted, the folder 
number can be reset to 100.)

 If battery power is exhausted while the 
camera and the PC are communicating, 
the recorded data may be damaged. Use 
batteries with sufficient battery power 
(P23) or the AC adaptor (DMW-AC6PP; 
optional) when you connect the camera to 
the PC.
 If the remaining battery power becomes 
low while the camera and the PC are

and the alarm beeps. In this case, stop 
the communication at once on the PC.
 When connecting the camera to a 
“Windows 2000” OS PC with the USB
