* 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. For Europe, motion pictures can be recorded continuously for up to 29 minutes 59 seconds. The maximum continuous recording time (up to 29 minutes 59 seconds) is displayed on the screen. Motion picture recorded continuously in Motion JPEG is up to 2 GB. Only the maximum recordable time for 2 GB is displayed on the screen. AVCHD can be recorded to the capacity of the card. (The recording may stop even if there is more space left in the card depending on the life of the battery.)

** Shooting conditions: 23°C with 50%RH humidity; LCD on; using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (512 MB); 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 [Mode1]) ; Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording; Turn the camera off every 10 recordings. The number of recordable pictures decreases in Auto Power LCD mode or Power LCD mode. 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 in AVCHD and with “Class 6” or higher when recording motion images in Motion JPEG.

*** SD speed class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.
