Notes

  • When recording in 4K formats to an SDHC memory card, a new file will be created to continue recording if the file size exceeds 4GB.
  • When recording in 4K formats to an SDXC memory card, a single file will be recorded even if the file size exceeds 4GB.
  • When recording in FHD or HD formats, a new file will be created to continue recording if the file size exceeds 4GB.
  • When recording motion pictures in 4K, use a card rated as UHS Speed Class 3.
  • Since the camera employs the VBR recording method, the bit rate is changed automatically depending on the subject to record. As a result, the recording time is shortened when a fast-moving subject is recorded.
  • An increase of the camera’s internal temperature may cause recording to stop before the maximum recording time is reached.
  • Alternate Model Names: DC-G100D, DC-G100DKK, DC-G100DVK
