Recording conditions by CIPA standard
•
CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].•Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 oF)/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  with 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. 
If 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
•
These times are for an ambient temperature of 23 oC (73.4 oF) 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 
switching the power supply [ON]/[OFF], starting/stopping recording, zoom operation etc.
•The maximum time for continuous recording of 3D motion pictures is 29 minutes 59 seconds.•Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [FSH] in [AVCHD] is 29 minutes 
59 seconds.
