How to Display Certification and Compliance Information

Certification and compliance information for this camera can be viewed on the menu screen.

1 Select the [Others] tab of the [Setup] menu. 2 Select [Approved Regulations] and confirm your selection.

CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B) Contains IC : 772C-LB1JS955

This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt

RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause interference.

2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may

cause undesired operation of the device.

5.15-5.35 GHz band is restricted to indoor operations only.

High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands

5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause

interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are

associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that

these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless

devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range

while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by

heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects

causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures

have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some

biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by

additional research. DC-S1 has been tested and found to comply with ISED

radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets

RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

Before Use

Firmware of Your Camera/Lens



Firmware updates may be provided in order to improve camera capabilities or to add

functionality. For smoother recording, we recommend updating the firmware of the

camera/lens to the latest version.

0 For the latest information on the firmware or to download/

update the firmware, visit the following support website:

https://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/

(English only)

after firmware update are detailed in the “Owner’s Manual” (PDF format). Refer to this by downloading from the website. (l 4)

Handling of the Camera



Do not subject the camera to strong vibration, impacts, or pressure.

These may cause a malfunction or damage.

– Do not drop or knock against hard surfaces.

– Do not push hard on the lens section or monitor.

If sand, dust, or liquid gets on the monitor, wipe it off with a dry soft

cloth.

– Touch operations may be incorrectly recognized.

When using in low temperatures (s10 oC to 0 oC (14 oF to 32 oF))

– Before use, attach a Panasonic lens with a minimum recommended operating

temperature of j10 oC (14 oF).

DVQX1681 (ENG)

1. Introduction

Do not place a hand inside the camera mount.

This may cause a failure or damage because the sensor is a precision

device.

If you shake the camera while turning the camera off, a sensor may

operate or a rattling sound may be heard. This is caused by the image

stabilizer mechanism in the body. It is not a malfunction.

Splash Resistant



Splash Resistant is a term used to describe an extra level of

protection this camera offers against exposure to a minimal amount

of moisture, water or dust. Splash Resistant does not guarantee that

damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact

with water.

In order to minimize the possibility of damage please be sure the

following precautions are taken:

– Splash Resistant works in conjunction with the lenses that were specifically

designed to support this feature.

– Securely close the doors, socket caps, contact points cover, etc.

– When the lens or cap is removed or a door is open, do not allow sand, dust, and

moisture to enter inside.

– If liquid gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry soft cloth.

Condensation (When the Lens, the Viewfinder or Monitor



is Fogged Up)

0 Condensation occurs when there are temperature or humidity differences. Be careful

because condensation can lead to stains or mold on the lens, viewfinder, and

monitor or cause a failure.

0 If condensation occurs, turn off the camera and leave it for approx. 2 hours. The fog

will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the

ambient temperature.

Be Sure to Perform Trial Recording in Advance



Perform trial recording in advance of an important event (wedding, etc.) to check that

recording can be performed normally.

DVQX1681 (ENG)

1. Introduction

No Compensation Regarding Recording



Please note that compensation cannot be provided in the event that recording could

not be performed due to a problem with the camera or a card.

Be Careful with Regard to Copyrights



Under copyright law, you may not use the images and audio you have recorded for

other than personal enjoyment without the permission of the copyright holder.

Be careful because there are cases where restrictions apply to recording even for the

purpose of personal enjoyment.
