1. Introduction

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 site:

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

(English only)

0 To check the firmware version of the camera/lens, attach the lens to the camera and

select [Firmware Version] in the [Setup] ([Others]) menu. You can also update the firmware in [Firmware Version]. (l 455)

0 This document provides explanations for camera firmware version 1.0.

Handling of the Camera



When using the camera, take care not to drop it, bump it, or apply undue force.

These may cause malfunction or damage to the camera and lens.

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

– Touch operations may be incorrectly recognised.

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).

Page 20

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 stabiliser 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 minimise 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. Take care

as this may lead to soiling, mould, and malfunctions in the lens, viewfinder, and

monitor.

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.

Page 21

1. Introduction

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.

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.

Also Read “Cautions for Use” (l 569)
