Recording pictures (advanced)
Using the Mode Dial
 
 
When you want the background to be in 
sharp focus, set the aperture value to a 
higher number. The higher the aperture 
value is the smaller the aperture opening 
will be. For a soft focus background, set the 
aperture value to a lower number which 
corresponds to a larger aperture opening.
1Set the aperture value and take 
the picture.
A
 Aperture value
e: Increase
r: Decrease
• Refer to P58 for the available range of the 
aperture value and the shutter speed.
• If the subject is too bright, set to a larger 
aperture value, if too dim, set to a smaller 
aperture value.
• The brightness of the screen may differ 
from that of the actual pictures. Check it 
using review function or setting to the 
playback mode.
• The ISO sensitivity cannot be set to 
[AUTO]. (P73) (When the recording mode 
is switched to Aperture-priority AE, the 
ISO sensitivity is automatically set to 
[ISO100].)
• When the exposure is not adequate, the 
aperture value and the shutter speed on 
the screen turn red.Aperture-priority AEM

nAvailable recording time (seconds)
• The recordable time is an approximation. 
(Actual times depend on recording 
conditions and the type of SD card.)
• Recording time depends on the subject.
• The remaining recordable time shown on 
the LCD may not reduce regularly.
• This camera cannot take motion pictures 
if you are using a MultiMediaCard.• The motion pictures cannot be recorded 
without audio.
• The settings of auto focus/zoom/aperture 
values are fixed to what they are when 
recording starts (in the first frame).
• Depending on the type of card you are 
using, the card access indication may 
appear for a while after shooting motion 
pictures. This is normal.
• When you set the [PICT.MODE] to 
[30fpsVGA] or [30fps16:9], use cards that 
have a speed of 10 MB/second or better 
(shown on the card packaging) for best 
results.
• Shooting may stop unexpectedly with 
some types of card or if you use a card 
whose memory has been fragmented 
by repeated shooting and erasure. 
Clean up the card with this unit 
beforehand for best results (P103).
• We recommend using Panasonic’s SD 
Memory Card. (Use only the genuine 
SD card with SD Logo.)
• When motion pictures recorded with this 
camera are played back on other 
equipment, the quality of pictures and 
sounds may be deteriorated or it may not 
be possible to play them back.
• Motion pictures you have recorded at 
[30fpsVGA], [30fpsQVGA], [30fps16:9], 
and [10fpsVGA] can only be shown on 
compatible players.
• In motion picture mode [i], you cannot 
use the direction detection function and 
the review function.
• You cannot set [MODE2] on the Optical 
Image Stabilizer function.
