[Rec Format] setting of [MP4].
• 4K burst files are recorded at a frame rate of [30p] or [60p] and playable on the camera
regardless of the [System Frequency] setting.
• When [Auto Review] is enabled, the picture selection screen will be displayed automatically. To

Manual Exposure Mode, it also adjusts exposure

normal recording screen.
Recording tips
In situations where you want to lock focus and exposure, such as
when the subject is not at the centre, use [AF/AE LOCK]. (P105)
• To reduce camera shake, we recommend that you use a tripod and shutter remote control
(DMW-RSL1: optional) when using [Light Composition].
• 4K burst file will be recorded and played back in separate files in the following cases. (You can
continue recording without interruption.)
– When using an SDHC memory card: If the file size exceeds 4 GB

4 minutes or if the file size exceeds 96 GB
