EMC NOTICE FOR THE PURCHASER/USER OF THE APPARATUS
1. Applicable standards and operating environment
The apparatus is compliant with:
standards EN55103-1 and EN55103-2, and
electromagnetic environments E1, E2, E3 and E4.
2. Pre-requisite conditions to achieving compliance with the above standards
<1>Peripheral equipment to be connected to the apparatus and special connecting cables
The purchaser/user is urged to use only equipment which has been recommended by us as peripheral
equipment to be connected to the apparatus.
The purchaser/user is urged to use only the connecting cables described below.
<2> For the connecting cables, use shielded cables which suit the intended purpose of the apparatus.
Video signal connecting cables
Use double-shielded coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency applications, for SDI
(Serial Digital Interface).
Coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency applications, are recommended for analog
video signals.
Audio signal connecting cables
If your apparatus supports AES/EBU serial digital audio signals, use cables designed for AES/EBU.
Use shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency transmission applications, for analog
audio signals.
Other connecting cables
Use shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency applications, such as connecting
cables for IEEE1394 or USB.
When connecting to the HDMI signal terminal, use multilayer shielded cables, which provide quality performance
for high-frequency applications.
When connecting to the DVI signal terminal, use a cable with a ferrite core.
If your apparatus is supplied with ferrite core(s), they must be attached on cable(s) following instructions in this
manual.
3. Performance level
The performance level of the apparatus is equivalent to or better than the performance level required by these
standards.
However, the apparatus may be adversely affected by interference if it is being used in an EMC environment, such as an
area where strong electromagnetic fields are generated (by the presence of signal transmission towers, cellular phones,
etc.). In order to minimize the adverse effects of the interference on the apparatus in cases like this, it is recommended
that the following steps be taken with the apparatus being affected and with its operating environment:
1. Place the apparatus at a distance from the source of the interference.
2. Change the direction of the apparatus.
3. Change the connection method used for the apparatus.
4. Connect the apparatus to another power outlet where the power is not shared by any other appliances.

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 42)
Also, set the correct date/time. (page 43)
r Caution regarding laser beams
The MOS sensor may be damaged if the MOS sensor is subjected to light from a laser beam.
Take sufcient 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 P2 cards used, we will not assume liability for such failure.
f Set up or check the calendar and time zone before recording. (page 43) These settings have an effect on the management and playback order of
recorded contents.
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.

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. To record the proxy data, use
SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards with an indication of class2 or higher.
If the recording format of the proxy data is [SHQ 2CH MOV] or [AVC-G6 2CH MOV], use a card of class4 or higher.
- 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.
http://pro-av.panasonic.net/
- SDHC memory cards are a standard that was established in 2006 by the SD Association for large-capacity memory cards that exceed 2 GB.
- SDXC memory cards are a standard that was established in 2009 by the SD Association for large-capacity memory cards that exceed 32 GB.

t Contact your dealer for information about the V-mount type battery plate.
t When the V-mount type battery plate is used, % (percent) is not displayed even if batteries with a battery level indicator function are used.
t When removing the plate, remove by sliding the release lever.
t When using a battery that is not in the [BATTERY SELECT] item, set [TYPE A], [TYPE B], or [TYPE C], and set each item according to the
characteristics of the battery.
For details, refer to [BATTERY SETUP] (page 150).
Using external DC power supply
DC cable
<DC IN> terminal
Connect the <DC IN> terminal of the camera to the external DC power supply.
1
Turn on the <POWER> switch of the external DC power supply (if the external DC power supply has a <POWER> switch).
2
Turn the camera’s <POWER> switch to <ON>.
3
r External DC power supply
Connect after making sure that the output voltage of the external DC power supply is compatible with the rated voltage of the camera.
Select an output amperage for the external DC power supply with a margin above the total amperage of the connected devices.
The total amperage of connected devices can be calculated with the following formula.
Total power consumption ÷ voltage
When the power of the camera is turned on, inrush current is generated. Insufcient power supply when turning on the power may cause a malfunction. We
recommend that you use an external DC power supply that can assure double the capacity of the total power consumption of the camera and connected devices
that are turned on by interlock when the power of the camera is turned on (such as lenses, wireless microphone receivers). For the DC cable, use a dual-core
shielded cord of AWG18 (nominal cross section area 0.824 mm
2
) or thicker.
External DC power supply
f Make sure of the pin alignment of the DC output terminal of the external DC power supply and the camera <DC IN> terminal, and connect the polarity
correctly.
If the +12 V power supply is mistakenly connected to the GND terminal, it may cause re or malfunction.

t When both the battery and the external DC power supply are connected, the power supply from the external DC power supply has priority. The battery
may be removed while using the external DC power supply.
t When using an external DC power supply, be sure to turn the camera’s <POWER> switch to <ON> after turning on the <POWER> switch of the
external DC power supply. If the operations are performed in reverse, the camera may malfunction because the external DC power supply output
voltage rises too slowly.
t When power is supplied from the <DC IN> terminal, the light circuit does not function. The light circuit can be used only when power is supplied from
the Anton/Bauer battery plate.
t When connecting the battery to the <DC IN> terminal, set the type of battery using the main menu → [BATTERY SETUP] → [EXT DC IN SELECT]. In
this case, the remaining battery level is not displayed with % even when the battery has the battery level indicator function.
