∫Recording still pictures
Recording conditions by CIPA standard
•
CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].•Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 o F)/Humidity: 50%RH when LCD monitor is on.
•Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (32 MB).•Using the supplied battery.•Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the Optical Image Stabilizer 
function is set to [ON].)
•Recording once every 30 seconds  using full flash every second recording.•Changing the zoom magnification from Tele to  Wide or vice versa in every 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. As 
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).]
∫Recording motion pictures
When recording with picture quality set to [HD]
•
These times are for an ambient temperature of 23 oC (73.4 o F) and a humidity of 50%RH. Please be 
aware that these times are approximate.
•Actual recordable time is the time available for recording when repeating actions such as turning this 
unit on and off, starting/st opping recording, zoom operation, etc.
•Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously is 29 minutes 59 seconds. The maximum 
available recording time continuously is displayed on the screen.

Preparation
∫Playback
•
The operating times and number of recordable pictures will differ according to the 
environment and the operating conditions.
For example, in the following cases, the operating times will shorten and the number of recordable 
pictures is reduced:
–At low temperature or in cold locations such as ski resorts or at high altitude¢
¢ Residual image may show on the LCD display when in use. The battery performance will 
decrease, so keep the camera and spare batteries warm by placing them in a warm place 
such as inside your cold protection gear or clothing. Performance of batteries and LCD 
monitor will restore to normal when the temperature returns to normal.
–When using [Monitor Luminance].–When operations such as flash and zoom are used repeatedly.
•When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging the 
battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.
Playback time Approx. 240 min
