ª MPEG2/MPEG4 Moving Picture

MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group. It is the name of the standard for the compression and extension of a digital moving picture and sound enacted by ITU-TS (International Telecommunications Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector) and ISO (International Standardization Organization). The picture data is transferred at a rate of about 25 frames per 1 second under MPEG2 format. Therefore, you can enjoy beautiful and smooth moving picture. The picture data of MPEG4 is inferior to those of MPEG 2 in smoothness because the number of the frames transferred in MPEG4 is less than that in MPEG2. However, it is suitable for use in PC because the transfer rate is higher.

Generally, if you repeatedly write data on a Memory Card, the data writing speed is decreased by the characteristic of the Memory Card. To recover the data writing speed on Panasonic SD Memory Card, [Clean Up] function is installed in this unit. When repeating write of data or files on SD Memory Card, it may be suddenly stopped while recording MPEG2 motion images. In this case, an error message [Record Stopped. Clean up in no data area?] appears. Be sure to use the function. (l 70)

[Clean Up] is a function to recover the writing speed on the free space of the SD Memory Card. It may take time to finish its process.

≥Be sure to clean up the SD Memory Card before

use.

You can record moving pictures in high quality on the Memory Card. Therefore, it is suitable for recording important pictures.

In MPEG2 moving picture recording, the transmission rate in [FINE] mode is 6 Mbps on this SD Video Camera. Be sure to use a Panasonic SD Memory Card since it is compatible with the above transmission rate. [FINE]: 256 MB or more [NORM]: 32 MB or more

≥You cannot record MPEG2 moving pictures on a card

other than the above.

N Press the [REC/PLAY] Button to select

Recording Mode and set the operation mode to [MPEG2].

O Press the [MENU] Button and set [Quality]

on [Record Functions Setup] to desired picture quality and then press the [1 SET] Button.

≥If you use a 32-128 MB Panasonic SD Memory Card,

when you select [Quality] on [Record Functions Setup] to [FINE] of the MPEG2 moving picture recording mode, an error message [This card cannot record in MPEG2 FINE mode.] appears on the LCD Monitor. If you use a MultiMediaCard, an SD Memory Card from another company, or an 8 MB and 16 MB (Panasonic) SD Memory Card, when you select the MPEG2 moving picture recording mode, an error message [This card cannot record in MPEG2 mode.] appears on the LCD Monitor.

MPEG4 recording provides less visual quality than MPEG2 recording. It is recommended when long recording durations are needed. Since the file size is much smaller than MPEG2, it’s ideal if the recording needs to be sent as an E-mail attachment.

Recording Mode and set the operation mode to [MPEG4].

O Press the [MENU] Button and set [Quality]
