Panasonic Hc X900 Owners Manual

After you have set up the Face Recognition 
function, personal information will be held in 
this unit and included in recorded images.
≥When the unit is serviced, or given away/
disposed of, the personal information 
should be deleted in the interests of 
protecting personal information. ( l106)
Indemnity
≥ Information, including personal 
information, may be changed or lost as a 
result of mistaken operation, static 
electricity effects, accident, breakage, 
repair or other handling.
It should be noted before use that 
Panasonic does not accept any 
responsibility for direct or indirect 
problems which occur as the result of the 
change to or loss of the information 
including personal information. When condensation forms on the unit, the 
lens will cloud up and the unit may not work 
properly. Make every effort to ensure that 
condensation does not form. If it does form, 
take the actions described below.
Causes of condensationCondensation takes place when the 
ambient temperature or humidity is 
changed as follows.
≥
When this unit is brought inside from the 
cold (e.g. a ski slope) to a warm room.
≥ When this unit is moved from an air-
conditioned car to outside.
≥ When a cold room has been warmed up 
quickly.
≥ When cool wind from an air conditioner is 
directly blown onto this unit.
≥ After rain showers.
≥ When this unit is in a very humid place 
where the air is thick with steam. (e.g. a 
heated swimming pool)
Helpful hint
If, for example, you have used this unit for 
recording on a ski slope and are taking it into 
a heated room, place the unit inside a plastic 
bag, remove as much of the air from inside 
the bag as possible, then seal the bag. 
Leave the unit for about an hour in the room 
so the temperature of the unit is close to the 
ambient temperature of the room, then use 
it.
Extremely high precision technology is 
employed to produce the LCD Monitor 
screen featuring a total of approximately 
460,000 dots. The result is more than 
99.99% effective dots with a mere 0.01% 
of the dots inactive or always lit. 
However, this is not a malfunction and 
does not affect the recorded picture.

≥SD cards are only mentioned with their main memory size. The stated times are the 
approximate recordable times for continuous recording.
A Favors image quality
B Favors Recording time
≥ If recording for long periods, prepare batteries for 3 or 4 times the period you wish to record 
for. ( l22)
≥ The default setting is [HG] mode.
≥ Maximum continuously recordable time for one scene: 6 hours
≥ The recording is paused once when the recording time for one scene exceeds 6 hours, and 
the recording will automatically  resume after a few seconds.
≥ The recordable time may be reduced if recording with a lot of action is recorded or 
recording of short scene is repeated.
≥ Use time in the row of 4 GB in above table as a guideline for the time that can be copied 
onto one DVD disc (4.7 GB).

When recording 3D still picture
≥The number of recordable pictures depends on the subject being recorded.
≥ When recording a 3D still picture, the equivalent 2D still picture is recorded as well; 
therefore, the number of recordable pictures will be reduced accordingly.
≥ Maximum number of recordable pictures that can be displayed is 9999. If the number of 
recordable pictures exceeds 9999, R 9999+ is displayed. The number will not change 
when the picture is taken until the number of recordable pictures is 9999 or less.
≥ The memory capacity indicated on the label of an SD card is the total of the capacity for 
copyright protection and management and the capacity which can be used on the unit, a 
PC etc.
