∫ About batteries that you can use with this unit
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the
genuine product are made available for purchase in some markets. Some of these
battery packs are not adequately protected with internal protection to meet the
requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these battery
packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are not liable for any
accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery pack. To
ensure that safe products are used, we recommend that a genuine Panasonic battery
pack is used.
∫ About the power supply
If you use the AC adaptor (supplied) when the battery is in this unit, you can supply power from
a power outlet via the USB connection cable (supplied).
The battery may be running out during recording.

Approximate operating time and number of recordable pictures
∫ Recording still pictures
Number of recordable
pictures
Recording time Approx. 100 min
Recording conditions by CIPA standard
•
CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].
• Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 oF)/Humidity: 50%RH when monitor is on.
• Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card.
• Using the supplied battery.
• Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on.
(When the Optical Image Stabilizer function is set to [ON].)
• Recording once every 30 seconds using full flash every second recording.
• Changing the zoom magnification from Tele to Wide or vice versa in every recording.
• Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery
decreases.
The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time. As
the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures
decreases.
[For example, if you were to take one picture every two minutes, then the number of
pictures would be reduced to approximately one-quarter of the number of pictures given
above (based upon one picture taken every 30 seconds).]
∫ Recording motion pictures
When [Rec Quality] is set to [HD]
Recordable time Approx. 70 min
Actual recordable time Approx. 35 min
These times are for an ambient temperature of 23 oC (73.4 oF) and a humidity of 50%RH.
•
Please be aware that these times are approximate.
• Actual recordable time is the time available for recording when repeating actions such as turning this
unit on and off, starting/stopping recording, zoom operation, etc.
• Motion pictures can be recorded continuously up to 2 GB.
The maximum available recording time for up to 2 GB only is displayed on the screen.

∫ Playback
Playback time Approx. 170 min
The operating times and number of recordable pictures will differ according to the
•
environment and the operating conditions.
For example, in the following cases, the operating times will shorten and the number of recordable
pictures is reduced:
– In low-temperature environments, such as on ski slopes.
– When using [Monitor Luminance].
– When operations such as flash and zoom are used repeatedly.
• When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging the
battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.
