Note regarding the Power Management function specified under COMMISSION REGULATION
(EC) No 1275/2008 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council.
This device is designed and manufactured for use at a broadcasting station and/or in a similar
environment.
This device is not equipped with a Power Management function or the Power Management function
is set to OFF as it will prevent the device from fulfilling its intended purpose for the reasons below.
1. If the device is a Studio Camera, a Weather Camera, a Mixer or other processor:
A Power Management function may cause the device to suddenly stop during recording
or while On Air.
2. If the device is a Studio Monitor:
A Power Management function may cause video for the confirmation of whether a signal
is normal, or whether the signal has been lost, to be un-viewable.
3. If the device is a Camera Recorder:
A professional camera recorder must be able to start quickly at any time, but a Power

∫ About the recording method
for recording motion pictures
This unit can record motion pictures using three
different recording methods, including MOV,
MP4 and AVCHD
* AVCHD Progressive (1080/60p, 1080/50p)
supported.
MOV and MP4:
These recording methods are suitable for
editing images. Audio is recorded in linear
PCM.
≥ Those methods are not compatible with
motion pictures recorded in AVCHD format.
≥ Those methods can record motion pictures in
formats that support 4K. 4K motion pictures
offer a resolution four times higher than that
of full high-definition motion pictures.

∫ About Condensation
(When the lens, the viewfinder
or LCD Monitor is fogged up)
Condensation occurs when there is a change in
temperature or humidity, such as when the unit
is taken from outside or a cold room to a warm
room. Please be careful, as it may cause the
lens, the viewfinder or LCD monitor to become
soiled, moldy, or damaged.
When taking the unit to a place which has a
different temperature, if the unit is accustomed
to the room temperature of the destination for
about one hour, condensation can be
prevented. (When the difference in temperature
is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the
like, remove air from the bag, and seal the bag.)
When condensation has occurred, remove the
battery and/or the AC adapter and leave the
unit like that for about one hour. When the unit
becomes accustomed to the surrounding
temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally.
∫ About security
Be careful about the possibility of theft or loss of
the unit, and be careful not to leave the unit
unattended. Please note that Panasonic does
not accept any responsibility for the
compromise, manipulation, and loss of
information caused by these events.
∫ Caution regarding laser beams
The lens may suffer damage if struck by a laser
beam. Make sure that laser beams do not strike
the lens when shooting in an environment
where laser devices are used.
