≥The times listed in the above tables are approximate.≥The numbers of recordable pictures described in the above [Picture] 
table are applicable when the picture quality is set to [Fine]. The 
numbers in brackets are applicable in the case of [Normal].
≥The remaining number of recordable pictures and time depends on 
the subjects being recorded. (In [MPEG4] mode, the remaining time 
may reach double the time listed above depending on the recording 
condition.)
≥Even if the remaining number of recordable pictures for [Picture] files 
is actually 10,000 or more, it is displayed as [9999] on the screen.
≥The remaining number of recordable pictures and time displayed on 
the LCD Monitor are approximations.
The remaining number of recordable pictures and time vary when 
pictures with different picture quality or picture size are mixed or the 
data recorded in [Picture], [MPEG4] and [Voice] modes are mixed in 
a card.
≥You can continue to record files as a file up to about 10 hours in 
[MPEG4] mode and up to about 24 hours in [Voice] mode. (When the 
AC adaptor is used as the power source and files are recorded on a 
card having 512 MB or 1 GB storage capacity.)

≥When [HDTV] (picture size: 1920a1080) is selected, the pictures 
are recorded with the aspect ratio equal to the High-Definition TV 
(16:9).
≥The larger the picture size (values such as [640a480]), the larger the 
file size will become.
≥If you select a larger picture size in the [Picture] mode, the printed 
picture will be clearer.
≥If the file size of the picture is large, the time required to capture the 
picture onto the card becomes longer.
≥The smaller the picture size, the more pictures you can store on a 
card. In addition, it is easier to attach the picture to an e-mail or post 
it on a website. 
≥When you set [Quality] in [Picture] mode to [Normal], the recorded 
pictures may be shown in a mosaic-like pattern depending on the 
subject.
≥When you set [Quality] in [MPEG4] mode to [N] or [E], the picture 
quality of the recorded pictures is deteriorated. (The sound quality 
will not be changed.)
≥[MPEG4] files recorded with this unit cannot be played on Panasonic 
SD Multi Camera SV-AS10.
