• When the remaining capacity of the battery or card gets low during video
recording, the tally lamps blink at long intervals. When there is no remaining
capacity in the battery or card, video recording is stopped and the tally lamps
blink at short intervals.
• If an operation such as a zoom or button operation is performed during video
recording, that operation sound may be recorded.
• The lens operation sound (AF and image stabilizer) may be recorded to video.
• If the operation sound of pressing the video rec. button or sub video rec. button to
end recording bothers you, try the following:
– Record the video about 3 seconds longer, and then divide the last part of the
video using [Video Divide] in the [Playback] ([Edit Image]) menu.
– Use the Shutter Remote Control (DMW-RS2: optional) for recording.
• Depending on the type of card, the card access indication may appear for a while
after video recording. This is not a malfunction.
• Even when playback is performed on a supported device, situations may occur
where image or sound quality is poor, recording information is not displayed
correctly, or playback is not possible, for example.
If you experience any of these, play them back on the camera.
• Video recording is not possible while you are using the following functions:
– [Time Lapse Shot]
– [Stop Motion Animation]

screen. If you continue to use the camera, a message indicating that the camera

message indicating that they can be used again. When the message indicating
that they can be used again is displayed, turn the camera off then on again.
