 You can record smoother motion 
pictures with “30 fps”.

with “10 fps” although the picture quality 
is lower.
 The file size with [10fpsQVGA] is small 
so it is suitable for e-mails.

without audio.
 This unit does not support recording 
motion pictures on MultiMediaCards.
 When you set the picture quality to 
[30fpsVGA] or [30fps16:9], we 
recommend using a high speed SD 
Memory Card with “10MB/s” or greater 
displayed on the package.
 Depending on the type of SD Memory 
Card or SDHC Memory Card, recording 
may stop in the middle. We recommend using Panasonic’s SD 
Memory Card/SDHC Memory Card.
 Depending on the type of SD Memory 
Card or SDHC Memory Card, the card 
access indication may appear for a while 
after recording motion pictures. This is not 
a malfunction.
 When motion pictures recorded with the 
camera are played back on other 
equipment, the quality of the picture and 
sound may deteriorate and it may not be 
possible to play them back. Also the 
recording information may not be 
displayed correctly.
 In motion picture mode [ ], you cannot 
use the direction detection function and 
the review function.
 You cannot set [MODE2] on the optical 
image stabilizer function.
 The bundled software includes QuickTime 
to play back motion picture files recorded 
with the camera on the PC.
