Continuous Video Recording Time with Temperature Increases in the Camera

During video recording, recording will be stopped automatically to protect the camera if the ambient temperature is high or recording is performed over extended periods and the internal temperature gets too high.

bullet02For information about the continuous recording time for video, refer also to the support site below.

bullet02When recording under the test conditions specified by Panasonic:

– Ambient temperature (temperature in the vicinity of the camera): 23 character_degreeC (73.4 character_degreeF)

– Camera settings at the time of purchase

– No external device connections, no wireless connections

– Using a Nextorage SDXC memory card


  1. With the camera turned off and the temperature inside and outside the camera at 23 character_degreeC (73.4 character_degreeF), the camera is turned on and video recording is started immediately.

  1. Times may be shorter than shown in the table due to the environment and conditions of use, the status of camera use, and the usage conditions prior to video recording.

character_diamondRestarting Video Recording After Stopping Due to Temperature Increase in the Camera

If video recording stops due to temperature increase in the camera, the temperature in the camera needs to be lowered before video recording can be started again.

bullet02Turn the camera off to lower the temperature in the camera.

bullet02The continuous recording time for video after restarting depends on the standby time (the amount of time the camera was off for).
