• There are limited times to overwrite on an SD memory card. When having a high frequency of

overwriting, the lifetime of the SD memory card may become shorter.

• A lifetime of an SD memory card should be influenced by the number of the image files stored and log

savings on the SD memory card. Selecting “H.264(1)” or “H.264(2)” for “Recording format” can reduce the number of files to be stored on the SD memory card.

• If the data writing speed goes down after data is repeatedly written on an SD memory card, we

recommend replacing the SD memory card.

[Recording format]

Select “JPEG”/“H.264(1)”/“H.264(2)” for the video encoding format of image data to be recorded on the SD memory card.

• JPEG: Records still image data.

• H.264(1): Records video data (H.264(1)) in the MP4 video encoding format. Audio will not be recorded.

The data is recorded in accordance with the settings of “H.264(1)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/ Audio” page.

• H.264(2): Records video data (H.264(2)) in the MP4 video encoding format. Audio will not be recorded.

The data is recorded in accordance with the settings of “H.264(2)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/ Audio” page.

• Default: JPEG

Note

• When recording the same data as the “Live” pages, it is recommended that the same settings be

configured for both the “Live” pages and “Recording format”. When recording data other than the “Live” pages (for example, to reduce the data volume by lowering the image quality and image resolution), select image data other than the “Live” page from “Recording format”, and configure the settings for recording video data.

• When “H.264(1)” is selected, the settings for “H.264(1)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/

Audio” page will be changed to the settings for “H.264(1) & recording”. When “H.264(2)” is selected, the settings for “H.264(2)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/ Audio” page will be changed to the settings for “H.264(2) & recording”.

• When using the SD memory recording function of a Panasonic network disk recorder, select “JPEG”

for “Recording format”.

• When the setting of “Recording format” is changed between “JPEG” and “H.264(1)” or “H.264(2)”,

format the SD memory card. (®page 63)

Super Dynamic function

When there is wide variation between the illumination of light and dark areas of the location being monitored, the camera adjusts the lens iris in accordance with the brighter areas. This causes loss of detail in darker areas. Conversely, adjusting the lens brightness for the darker areas causes the brighter areas to become washed out. Super Dynamic digitally combines an image that is set up for a clear view of the brighter areas with an image that is set up for a clear view of the darker areas, creating a final image that preserves overall detail.

A. Subject in the dark

area is hard to notice...

B. Subject in the bright

area is washed out...

C. Creates a clearer

image by digitally combining images
