Chapter 1 Overview

Before using the camera, read this chapter.

Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera

Before using the camera

r Before using the camera, always check if the built-in battery is not consumed, and then set the date/time.

The internal clock of the camera is reset when the built-in battery has been consumed. This may result in the metadata of the clip not recorded correctly, and it may not display correctly in the thumbnail screen.

Check if the built-in battery is not consumed before using. (page 38) Also, set the correct date/time. (page 39)

r When using this product during rain or snow or when at the beach, be careful that water does not get inside the camera recorder.

Water causes damage to the camera recorder and memory card. (Repair may be impossible)

r Keep the camera recorder away from devices (TVs, TV games, etc.) that produce magnetism.

f If you use the camera recorder on or near TVs, video and sound data may be distorted by electromagnetic waves. f Strong magnetic elds produced by speakers and large motors may cause damage to recorded contents and may distort images. f Electromagnetic waves emitted by microcomputers may have a harmful effect on the camera recorder and may corrupt video and sound data. f The camera recorder may not operate properly if it receives harmful effects from devices that produce magnetism. If this happens, turn off the camera

recorder and either remove the battery or unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet. Then, replace the battery or reconnect the AC adaptor. After that, turn on the camera recorder.

r Do not use the camera recorder near radio transmitters or high-voltage devices.

If you use the camera recorder near radio transmitters or high-voltage devices, the recorded video and sound data may suffer harmful effects.

r When using the camera recorder at the beach, etc., be careful that sand and dust do not get inside the camera recorder.

Sand and dust may damage the camera recorder and memory card. (Be careful when inserting and removing the memory card)

r Battery charger and battery

f If the <CHARGE> lamp continues blinking even when the battery is at its optimal temperature, the battery or battery charger may be damaged.

Contact a dealer.

f If the battery is warm, it will take longer than usual to charge. f If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio sound may be distorted. Keep the battery and battery charger at least 1 m away from radios

when in use.

f Noise may be emitted when using the battery charger, but this is not a malfunction.

r When carrying the camera recorder, be careful not to drop it.

f Strong shocks will damage the camera recorder body and it may not operate properly. f If you carry the camera recorder, use a grip belt or shoulder strap and handle it carefully.

r Do not apply insecticide or volatile materials to the camera recorder.

f If insecticide or volatile materials come into contact with the camera recorder, the camera recorder body may warp and the paint may come off. f Do not allow the camera recorder to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl objects for a long period of time.

r After using the camera recorder, either remove the battery or disconnect the AC cable from the power outlet.

r Battery characteristics

The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It produces electrical energy via an internal chemical reaction. This chemical reaction is easily inuenced by the surrounding temperature and humidity, so the effective usage time of the battery is reduced when the surrounding temperature is hot or cold. When used in extremely low temperature environments, the effective usage time is approximately ve minutes.

When the battery is in an extremely hot environment, its protective function will operate and the camera recorder cannot be used temporarily.

r After using the camera recorder, be sure to remove the battery.

Be sure to remove the battery from the camera recorder. (If the battery is left in the camera recorder, it will continue to consume a small amount of electric current even when the power is turned off)

If the battery is left inside the camera recorder for a long time, it will over discharge and may become unusable even if it is recharged. 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.

r Take proper care of the battery terminal.

Do not allow dust or foreign objects on the battery terminal. Also, if you drop the battery by mistake, make sure that the battery body and the terminal are not warped. Inserting a deformed battery into the camera recorder or attaching it to the battery charger may cause damages on the camera recorder or battery

charger.

r 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 le management information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards. When throwing these cards away or transferring them to others, either physically destroy them or use a data deletion program for computers (commercially available) to completely erase the data. Users are responsible for managing the data stored in their memory cards.

r LCD monitor and viewnder

f If the same image or letters are allowed to be displayed on the LCD monitor for a long time, the image may be burned into the screen. It will return to

normal after leaving the camera recorder turned off for several hours.

– 16 –

Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera

f Condensation 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.

f If the camera recorder is very cold, the LCD monitor will be slightly darker than normal immediately after the power is turned on. The screen will return

to its regular brightness when the temperature inside increases.

f Since the viewnder of the camera uses organic EL, if the same image or letters are allowed to be displayed for a long time, the image may be burned

into the screen. There is no problem with the recorded images. Switch the screen by turning off the screen or by using the eye sensor, etc.

f The LCD monitor and viewnder (organic EL) are highly-precisely managed 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.

r Do not point the eye piece of the lens and viewnder at the sun.

Doing so might damage the components inside.

r Protective cap for the terminal

Place a protective cap on connection terminals not being used.

r GPS

GPS (Global Position System) satellite is managed by the United States Department of State and its precision is sometimes intentionally changed. Position it in a location where there is a good view of the sky and there is no inuence of obstacles such as roofs and trees, etc. Depending upon the surrounding environment and the time, it may take a long time to position and errors may be larger.

r Caution regarding laser beams

The MOS sensor may be damaged if the MOS sensor is subjected to light from a laser beam. Take sufcient care to prevent laser beams from striking the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.

r Note the following points.

f If you prepare to record important images, always shoot some advance test footage to verify that both pictures and sound are being recorded

normally.

f Should video or audio recording fail due to a malfunction of the camera or the microP2 memory card during the use, Panasonic is not liable for the

content of recording.

f Set up or check the calendar and time zone before recording (Setting the date/time of the internal clock). These settings have an effect on the

management and playback order for recorded contents.

t Cautions when using SD memory cards

- On the camera, use SD memory cards that conform to the SD standard, SDHC standard, or the SDXC standard.

- MMC (Multi Media Card) cannot be used. (Bear in mind that taking pictures may no longer be possible if you use them.)

- When using miniSD/microSD cards with the camera, always install the adaptor specially designed for miniSD/microSD cards. (The camera will

not work properly if only the miniSD/microSD adaptor is installed. Make sure that the card has been inserted into the adaptor before use.)

- Use of Panasonic SD memory cards and miniSD/microSD cards is recommended. Be sure to format cards on the camera before use.

- Refer to our support desk at the following website for the latest information not included in these operating instructions.

- SDHC memory cards are a standard that was established in 2006 by the SD Association for large-capacity memory cards that exceed 2 GB.
