Note
• When you take pictures with the camera's flash, the
periphery of the screen may appear dark. In that case, we
recommend using an external flash.
• In very quiet situations Auto Focus operating sounds may
be recorded during motion picture recording. This is not a
malfunction. In such situations, switching to Manual Focus
will improve the situation.
• The aperture can be adjusted with the aperture ring only
when a Panasonic digital camera is attached to the lens.
