Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera
rr Disconnect the battery or disconnect the AC cable from the power outlet after the use.
rr Battery characteristics
The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It produces electrical energy via an internal chemical reaction. This chemical reaction is effected by the ambient temperature and humidity. The usable time of the battery becomes shorter when the temperature gets higher or lower. When used in an environment with extremely low temperature, it can only be used for approximately five minutes.
When the battery is in an extremely hot environment, its protective function will operate and the camera recorder cannot be used temporarily.
rr After using the camera recorder, be sure to remove the battery.
Securely remove the battery from the camera.
(Minute current is consumed even if the camera is turned off when the battery is kept mounted)
The battery will become over discharge and may become unusable even if it is recharged when the battery is kept mounted for long period of time. Do not remove the battery when the power is turned on.
Turn off the power and remove the battery after the operation lamp goes completely out.
rr Take proper care of the battery terminal.
Do not allow dust or foreign objects on the battery terminal.
Confirm that the battery and its terminal section is not deformed when the battery is dropped by mistake.
Do not mount the deformed battery into a camera or mount to the battery charger. This may damage the camera or the battery charger.
rr Cautions when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others
Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the camera or a computer will merely change the file management information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards.
It is recommended to completely erase the data in following method when discarding/conveying. ffPhysically destroy the memory card itself
ffCompletely erase the data in the memory card using a commercially available data erasing software for PC, etc. Users are responsible for managing the data stored in their memory card.
rr LCD monitor and viewfinder
ffDo not continuously display the same image or text on the LCD monitor for a long period of time. The image may be burned on to the screen. It will return to normal after leaving the camera recorder turned off for several hours.
ffCondensation sometimes forms on the LCD panel of the LCD monitor in locations subject to extreme temperature differences. If this happens, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
ffThe LCD monitor will be slightly darker than normal immediately after the power is turned on when the camera is very cold. It will return to its regular brightness when the internal temperature increases.
ffThe LCD monitor and viewfinder (organic EL) are managed with high precision so that at least 99.99% of the dots are effective pixels and 0.01% or less are invalid pixels and always lit. This is not a malfunction and it has no effect whatsoever on the recorded images.
ffThe viewfinder for this camera uses an organic EL. The image may burn into the screen if the same image or letters are left displayed on the screen for a long time. There is no problem with the recorded images.
Switch the screen by turning off the screen or by using the eye sensor, etc.
ffIt may become difficult to see or difficult to recognize the touch when a LCD protection sheet is affixed.
rr Caution regarding laser beams
The MOS sensor may be damaged if the MOS sensor is subjected to light from a laser beam.
Take sufficient care to prevent laser beams from striking the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.
rr Note the following points.
ffIf you prepare to record important images, always shoot some advance test footage to verify that both pictures and sound are being recorded normally.
ffPanasonic will not assume liability when video or audio recording fails due to a malfunction of the camera or the memory card during the use.
ffSet the calendar (datetime of the internal clock) and the time zone, or check the setting before recording. This will have an effect on the management of the recorded contents.
rr Exemption of liability
Panasonic is not liable in any way regarding following.
1 Incidental, special, or consequential damages caused directly or indirectly by the camera 2 Damages, breakage of the camera, etc., caused by misuse or carelessness of the customer 3 When disassembly, repair, or modification of the camera is performed by the customer

7The registered information is lost due to any reason (including initializing this camera because the authentication information such as user name or password is forgotten)
rr Cautions regarding network
Since this camera is used connected to a network, following mischief may occur.
1 Leaking or divulging of information through the camera
2 Fraudulent operation of the camera by a malicious third party
– 12 –
Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera
3 Obstruction and/or stopping of the camera by a malicious third party
It is customer’s responsibility to take sufficient network security measures including the following to prevent damage caused by such mischief. Please note that Panasonic is not liable in any way for damage caused by such mischief.
ffUse the camera on a network where safety is secured by using a firewall, etc.
ffWhen using the camera on a system where a PC is connected, make sure that checking and cleaning of infection by computer virus and malicious program is performed periodically.
ffIn order to prevent malicious attacks, use the authentication system and change the default setting values by using 8 characters or more including 3 or more character types for the authentication information (such as user name and password) so that a third party cannot guess your authentication information.
ffStore the authentication information (user name, password, etc.) appropriately so it is not visible to the third party.
ffPeriodically change the authentication information (user name, password, etc.) and do not use the same authentication information as other accounts. ffTo prevent the setting information in the camera to leak to the network, execute measure such as restricting the access with user authentication, etc. ffDo not install in a location where the camera, cable, etc., can be easily damaged.

@@NOTE
tt The battery charger will determine the status of the battery after the battery is mounted. Therefore, it may take some time until the charging lamp is to illuminate. Mount the battery again if the charging lamp does not illuminate after ten seconds or longer has elapsed.
tt When two quick charging compatible batteries are mounted, the quick charging on the <CHARGE1> side will take priority, and the charging on the <CHARGE2> side will be normal charging. Once the charging of the <CHARGE1> side proceeds, the charging on the <CHARGE2> side will switch to quick charging.
Also, depending on the charging status of the battery, the indicator on the battery that is mounted on the <CHARGE2> side may turn off.
tt The battery charger will perform optimal charging after determining the status of the battery. Once the charging is started, the indicator for quick charging compatible battery will flash. Also, if it is charging on both <CHARGE1> side and <CHARGE2> side, charging of both batteries will stop when either one of the battery is mounted/removed, or replaced. It will start the charging again after determining the status of the batteries.
tt Mount the battery to be charged prioritized on the <CHARGE1> side when charging.
