Advanced (Recording pictures)
• The 20 mm/F1.7 interchangeable lens included in the DMC-GF1C utilises a lens drive system
to realise a compact and bright F1.7 lens. As a result, sound and vibration may occur during
focus operation, but this is not a malfunction.
• Operating sounds will be recorded when Auto Focus is performed during Motion Picture
Recording. It is recommended to record with [CONTINUOUS AF] (P105) set to [OFF], if the
sound of operation bothers you
to avoid recording the lens noise.
• The 20 mm/F1.7 interchangeable lens included in the DMC-GF1C cannot be set to [AFC].
Note
• The flash setting is fixed to [Œ].
• Available recording time is displayed when the [REMAINING DISP.] (P130) in the [CUSTOM
MENU] menu is set to [REMAINING TIME].
• Refer to P191 for information about the available recording time.
• The available recording time displayed on the screen may not decrease regularly.
• Depending on the type of the card, the card access indication may appear for a while after
recording motion pictures. This is not a malfunction.
• The operational sound of the zoom or button operation may be recorded when it is operated
during the recording of a motion picture.
• Audio will not be recorded for 0.5 seconds after it starts recording if it is kept pressed. Release
the motion picture button right after you press it.
•
The screen may be blacked out momentarily, or the unit may record noise due to static electricity or
electromagnetic waves etc. depending on the environment of the motion picture recording.
• When operating the zoom when recording motion pictures, it may take time to come into focus.
• If The Extra Optical Zoom was used before pressing the motion picture button, those settings
will be cleared, so the focus range will change dramatically.
• When the aspect ratio setting is different in still and motion pictures, the angle of view changes
at the start of motion picture recording. When [ REC AREA] (P130) is set to [ ], angle of
view during motion picture recording is displayed.
• The ISO sensitivity will be set to [AUTO] when recording motion pictures.
• When recording motion pictures, [STABILIZER] (Only available when a lens that supports the
Stabilizer function is attached) is fixed to [MODE1].

– [ ] and [ ] in [AF MODE]
