Preparations

Before use

Care of the camera

To avoid damaging your camera and to experience the maximum enjoyment you should exercise the following precautions.

The lens, monitor and the camera body can sustain damage if the camera body is dropped or

●

subjected to excessive temperature, moisture, water or dust. The monitor can be damaged if excessive pressure is applied to the screen surface, during actual

●

use or while cleaning.

■

Splash Proof

Splash Proof 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 Proof 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:

• Make sure the built-in flash is closed.

• Make sure that all doors are securely closed.

• Make sure that you are in a dry and secure place when changing the battery or memory card. After changing, make sure their protective doors are securely closed.

• If this camera is exposed to water, sand or any other foreign material clean it as soon as possible, taking the necessary precautions that the foreign substance does not get inside the camera.

• Under no circumstances should you place any foreign objects within the camera.

If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the camera, wipe them off with a dry soft cloth.

• Not doing so may result in incorrect recognition of touch operations or erroneous flash display.

• If the monitor is closed when such liquids are present, malfunction may result.

■

Condensation

Condensation may occur on the lens, monitor or in the viewfinder when the room temperature or

●

humidity changes rapidly. This may cause the image to temporarily become hazy. If this occurs, turn the camera off and allow the camera to sit so that the camera temperature can stabilise to the room’s ambient temperature. The required time will vary and can take up to an hour. It will clear by itself. If you know that you will be moving between areas where there will be a large change in

●

temperature or humidity, you can help prevent condensation forming on the camera by placing the camera in a large plastic zipper bag, so condensation will form on the bag, not the camera. Allow the temperature to stabilise before removing the camera from the bag.

■

Caring for your camera

To clean your camera, remove the battery, the DC coupler (DMW-DCC8: optional) or a card, or

●

disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not press the monitor with excessive force.

●

Do not press the lens with excessive force.

●

Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.

●

Do not use benzine, thinners, alcohol, or kitchen detergent, as these may damage the outer

●

casing and finish of the camera. Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it to

●

malfunction. Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.

●

SQT0962 (ENG)

Preparations

While the camera is accessing the card (for an operation such as picture writing, reading,

●

deletion, or formatting), do not turn off the camera or remove the battery, card, AC adaptor (DMWAC10E: optional) or DC coupler (DMW-DCC8: optional). The data on the card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic waves, static electricity or

●

breakdown of the camera or the card. We recommend storing important data on a PC etc. Do not format the card on your PC or other equipment. Format it on the camera only to ensure

●

proper operation.

Tripod mount

Do not attach this unit to tripods that have screws with a length of 5.5 mm (0.22 inch) or more. Doing so may damage this unit or the unit may not be secured properly on the tripod.

SQT0962 (ENG)

Preparations

Attaching the Lens Hood

• Do not hold the lens hood in such a way that it will be bent.

• Make sure that the camera is turned off.

• Be sure to close the flash beforehand.

Align the mounting

mark on the lens hood a little above the mounting mark on the tip of the lens

Turn the lens hood in the

direction of the arrow to secure it

Turn the lens hood until it clicks

and align the mounting mark on the lens hood with the mark at the bottom of the camera

• Make sure the lens hood is secured properly and its reflection does not fall on images.

When temporarily detaching and carrying the lens hood, we recommend attaching with the

●

orientation reversed. Return it to the normal direction when taking pictures. If you attach the lens hood while using the flash, the flash light would be blocked by the lens hood

●

causing the bottom part of images to be darkened (vignetting) and also making it impossible to modulate the light. It is recommended to remove the lens hood before using the flash.
