Continuous Recording Time for Video

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.

Guide to Continuous Recording Times for Video from a Cold Start1

When recording under the test conditions specified by Panasonic:

– Ambient temperature (temperature in the vicinity of the camera): 23 C (73.4 F)

– Camera settings at the time of purchase

– Using a Nextorage SDXC memory card

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

2. 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.

Conditions that cause overheating

Use in places with high ambient temperatures

Repeatedly make video recordings

Leave the camera in the ON state for extended periods and then trying to make video recordings, etc.

Restarting 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.

We recommend turning the camera off to lower the temperature in the camera.

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