Panasonic LUMIX FZ300 Video Recording Limits

Maximum continuous video recording times for the Panasonic LUMIX FZ300
Format	Limit
¹Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 29 minutes, 59 seconds. ²You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4GB, but the motion picture file will be divided and played back separately. ³Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 29 minutes, 59 seconds or the file size exceeds 4GB (whichever occurs first). ⁴Since the file size becomes larger with [FHD], recording with [FHD] will stop before 29 minutes, 59 seconds. ⁵This limit is not documented, so a limit of 30 minutes is assumed from all other format options.
4K Formats	30 minutes^{1, 2}
MP4 [FHD]	30 minutes or 4GB^{3, 4}
MP4 [HD]	30 minutes or 4GB³
MP4 [VGA]	30 minutes or 4GB³
AVCHD Formats	30 minutes^{1, 5}
