- 13 -Preparation∫ Recording still pictures (By CIPA standard in Normal Picture Mode)Recording conditions by CIPA standard• CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].• Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 oF)/Humidity: 50%RH when LCD monitor is on.• Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (32 MB).• Using the supplied battery.• Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the Optical ImageStabilizer function is set to [On].)• Recording once every 30 seconds with 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 batterydecreases.The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time.If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable picturesdecreases. [For example, if you were to take one picture every two minutes, then thenumber of pictures would be reduced to approximately one-quarter of the numberof pictures given above (based upon one picture taken every 30 seconds).]∫ Recording motion pictures• 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 asswitching the power supply [ON]/[OFF], starting/stopping recording, zoom operation etc.• The maximum time for continuous recording of 3D motion pictures is 29 minutes 59 seconds.• Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [FSH] in [AVCHD] is 29 minutes59 seconds.• Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [MP4] is 29 minutes 59 seconds orup to 4 GB.The maximum available recording time continuously is displayed on the screen.Approximate operating time and number of recordable picturesWhen recording in 3D When recording in 2DNumber ofrecordable pictures Approx. 200 pictures Approx. 200 picturesRecording time Approx. 100 min Approx. 100 minWhen recording in3DWhen recording in 2D[AVCHD](Picture quality settingis [FSH])[MP4](Picture quality settingis [FHD])Recordable time Approx. 50 min Approx. 70 min Approx. 70 minActual recordabletime Approx. 25 min Approx. 30 min Approx. 30 min
