∫ About the recording method
for recording motion pictures
This unit can record motion pictures using three
different recording methods, including MOV,
MP4 and AVCHD
* AVCHD Progressive (1080/60p, 1080/50p)
supported.
MOV and MP4:
These recording methods are suitable for
editing images. Audio is recorded in linear
PCM.
≥ Those methods are not compatible with
motion pictures recorded in AVCHD format.
≥ Those methods can record motion pictures in
formats that support 4K. 4K motion pictures
offer a resolution four times higher than that
of full high-definition motion pictures.
AVCHD:
This recording method is suitable for playback
on a high-definition compatible external monitor.
Audio is recorded in Dolby
*
.
®
Digital.
∫ Regarding system frequencies
The NTSC/PAL region setting can be switched
in [SYSTEM FREQ]. (l 30)
≥ You cannot store AVCHD scenes recorded
with different system frequencies on the
same SD card. If you have switched the
system frequency, use another SD card.
∫ Indemnity about recorded
content
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility
for damages directly or indirectly due to any
type of problems that result in loss of recording
or edited content, and does not guarantee any
content if recording or editing does not work
properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a
case where any type of repair is made to the
unit.
∫ About Condensation
(When the lens, the viewfinder
or LCD Monitor is fogged up)
Condensation occurs when there is a change in
temperature or humidity, such as when the unit
is taken from outside or a cold room to a warm
room. Please be careful, as it may cause the
lens, the viewfinder or LCD monitor to become
soiled, moldy, or damaged.
When taking the unit to a place which has a
different temperature, if the unit is accustomed
to the room temperature of the destination for
about one hour, condensation can be
prevented. (When the difference in temperature
is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the
like, remove air from the bag, and seal the bag.)
When condensation has occurred, remove the
battery and/or the AC adapter and leave the
unit like that for about one hour. When the unit
becomes accustomed to the surrounding
temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally.
∫ About security
Be careful about the possibility of theft or loss of
the unit, and be careful not to leave the unit
unattended. Please note that Panasonic does
not accept any responsibility for the
compromise, manipulation, and loss of
information caused by these events.
∫ Caution regarding laser beams
The lens may suffer damage if struck by a laser
beam. Make sure that laser beams do not strike
the lens when shooting in an environment
where laser devices are used.
