The Panasonic Lumix FZ80D is a 18.1 megapixel camera that features a single memory card slot. The FZ80D is sold as the FZ82D in Europe and the FZ85D in Japan.
The single card slot supports SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-I) memory cards up to 512GB. Faster UHS-II cards will work but only at UHS-I speeds in-camera.
If you wish to shoot 4K 30fps video at 100Mbps then you'll require a memory card that is rated V30 / U3 or higher for video.
We would also recommend going with an SDXC card which are 64GB and larger, this will avoid the video files being split into 4GB chunks.

How many images can be captured with a 64GB card?

What is the maximum video recording time?
The maximum video recording time with the LUMIX FZ80D is 15 minutes for 4K video and 29 minutes, 59 seconds for FHD video.
What is the difference between SDHC and SDXC memory cards?
SDHC cards are formatted using the FAT32 file system which is limited to a maximum file size of 4GB. So when recording video clips, the clip will be split every 4 GB but playback with the camera will be seamless. SDXC cards use the exFAT file system which supports a maximum file size of 16 exabytes (EB), so video clips will not be split. SDHC cards support capacities of between 2-32GB and SDXC cards support 64GB-2TB.
