used may be displayed on the screen due to insufficient power and it may not
operate.

Panasonic.
– Perform trial recording in advance to check that operation is correct.
• When the temperature of the camera rises when recording over long periods to an
external SSD, for example, [ ] appears blinking on the screen. If you continue to
use the camera, a message indicating that the camera cannot be used is displayed
on the screen and some functions, such as recording and HDMI output, will be
stopped. Wait for the camera to cool down and for the message indicating that the
camera can be used again. When the message indicating that it can be used again
is displayed, turn the camera off then on again.
• The camera cannot access the external SSD if the external SSD is protected by a
password, etc. Check the settings of the external SSD before use.
