- 16 -Preparation∫ Recording still picturesRecording 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 Image Stabiliserfunction is set to [ON].)• Recording once every 30 seconds using full flash every second recording.• Rotating the zoom lever 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. Asthe 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 number ofpictures given above (based upon one picture taken every 30 seconds).]∫ Recording motion picturesWhen recording with picture quality set to [HD]• These times are for an ambient temperature of 23 oC (73.4 oF) and a humidity of 50%RH. Please beaware that these times are approximate.• Actual recordable time is the time available for recording when repeating actions such as turning thisunit on and off, starting/stopping recording, zoom operation, etc.• Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously is 29 minutes 59 seconds. The maximumavailable recording time continuously is displayed on the screen.Approximate operating time and number of recordable picturesNumber of recordablepictures Approx. 250 pictures By CIPA standard in NormalPicture ModeRecording time Approx. 125 minRecordable time Approx. 90 minActual recordable time Approx. 45 min
