* Note: SDHC Memory Cards and SDXC Memory Cards can be used only in equipment that is compatible with their respective formats.

• The DMC-GF5 is compatible with UHS-I standard SDHC/SDXC Memory Cards.

The SDHC Memory Card can be used only if the SDHC logo is indicated on the equipment or in the operation manual. It cannot be used with equipment that supports only the SD Memory Card.

The SDXC Memory Card can be used only if the SDXC logo is indicated on the equipment or in the operation manual. It cannot be used with equipment that supports only the SD Memory Card and SDHC Memory Card.

* These are standard times taken at a temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) and a humidity of 50%RH. The time available for recording varies depending on the environment, the interval between recordings, and the manner of use. 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. Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with AVCHD is 29 minutes 59 seconds in European PAL areas. Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with MP4 is 29 minutes 59 seconds or up to 4 GB. You can check the recordable time on the screen. (For FHD in MP4 format, the file size is large and so the recordable time will drop below 29 minutes 59 seconds.)

** With eco mode. Shooting conditions: 23°C with 50%RH humidity; LCD on; using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (2 GB); Using the supplied battery; Using the supplied lens; Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on (When the optical image stabilizer is set to [Normal]) ; Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording; Turn the camera off every 10 recordings. 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. CIPA is an abbreviation of “Camera & Imaging Products Association”.

•Use a card with SD Speed Class**** with “Class 4” or higher when recording motion images.
**** SD speed class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.
•SDHC Memory Cards and SDXC Memory Cards can be used only in equipment that is compatible with their respective formats.
•If the computer being used does not support SDXC Memory Cards, a message prompting you to format may appear. (Doing so will cause recorded images to be erased so do not choose to format.) If the card is not recognized, please refer to the below support site.
