About the Lens
∫ Micro Four Thirds™ mount specification lens
This unit can use the dedicated lenses compatible with
the Micro Four Thirds System lens mount specification
(Micro Four Thirds mount).
∫ Four Thirds™ mount specification lens
Lens with the Four Thirds mount specification can be
used by using the mount adaptor (DMW-MA1: optional).
∫ Leica mount specification lens
When you use the M mount adaptor or R mount adaptor (DMW-MA2M, DMW-MA3R:
optional), you can use Leica M Mount or Leica R Mount interchangeable lenses.
For certain lenses, the actual distance at which the subject is in focus may differ slightly from

Preparation
Changing the Lens
By changing the lens, you will increase your picture taking-options and further your
enjoyment of the camera. Change the lens using the following procedure.
Check that the camera is turned off.
•
• Change lenses where there is not a lot of dirt or dust. Refer to P348 when dirt or dust gets on
the lens.
Attaching the lens
Preparations: Remove the lens rear cap from the lens.
•
If the body cap is fitted to the camera, remove it.
Align the lens fitting marks A and then rotate the lens in the direction of
the arrow until it clicks.
• Do not press the lens release button B when you attach a lens.
• Do not try to attach the lens when holding it at an angle to the camera body as the lens mount
may get scratched.
• Be sure to remove the lens cap when recording.
• Do not insert your fingers into the mount when the lens and body cap
are removed from the camera body.
• To prevent dust or debris from adhering to internal parts of the
camera body, fit the body cap or a lens to the mount on the camera
body.
• To prevent scratching of the contact points, fit the lens rear cap to the
lens when it is unattached or fit the lens to the camera body.
• It is recommended to attach the lens cap or attach the MC Protector
(optional) to protect the lens surface when carrying. (P313)

Attaching the Lens Hood
When recording into strong backlight, irregular reflection may occur within the lens. The
lens hood reduces the inclusion of unwanted light in the recorded images and lowers the
drop in contrast. The lens hood cuts off excess lighting and improves the picture quality.
The interchangeable lens (H-PS14042) does not have a lens hood.
•
To attach the lens hood (flower shape) that came with the interchangeable lenses
(H-FS14140/H-FS1442A)
Hold the lens hood by placing your fingers as
shown in the figure.
Do not hold the lens hood in such a way that it will be

bent.
1 Align the fitting mark A on the short side of the lens hood with the mark on the
tip of the lens.
2 Turn the lens hood in the direction of the arrow until it clicks, and align the stop
mark B on the long side of the lens hood with the mark on the tip of the lens.
To attach the lens hood (flower shape) that came with the interchangeable lens

Charging the Battery
∫ About batteries that you can use with this unit
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the
genuine product are made available for purchase in some markets. Some of
these battery packs are not adequately protected with internal protection to meet
the requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that
these battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are
not liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit
battery pack. To ensure that safe products are used, we recommend that a
genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.
Use the dedicated charger and battery.

The indication turns red and blinks if the remaining battery power is exhausted. (The status
indicator also blinks) Recharge the battery or replace it with a fully charged battery.
• Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the
resulting heat generated.
• The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not
recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully
charged. (Since characteristic swelling may occur.)

CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].
• Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 oF)/Humidity: 50%RH when monitor/viewfinder is on.
• When using a Panasonic SDHC Memory Card.
• Using the supplied battery.
• Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on.
(When attaching an interchangeable lens compatible with the Optical Image Stabilizer function,
set the Optical Image Stabilizer to [ ])
• Recording once every 30 seconds using full flash every second recording.
• When an interchangeable lens compatible with power zoom (electrically operated zoom) is
attached, the zoom moves from Tele to Wide or from Wide to Tele on each recording.
• Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery
decreases.
The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time.
If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures
decreases. [For example, if you were to take one picture every two minutes, then the
number of pictures would be reduced to approximately one-quarter of the number
of pictures given above (based upon one picture taken every 30 seconds).]

Program Shift
In Program AE Mode, you can change the preset aperture value and shutter speed without
changing the exposure. This is called Program Shift.
You can make the background more blurred by decreasing the aperture value or record a
moving subject more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when taking a picture in
Program AE Mode.

[When the interchangeable lens (H-PS14042) is used]
(A): Aperture value
(B): Shutter speed
1 Program Shift amount
2 Program Shift line chart
3 Program Shift limit
EV is an abbreviation of [Exposure Value].
•
The EV changes with the aperture value or the shutter speed.
• If the exposure is not adequate when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the aperture value
and shutter speed turn red and blink.
• Program Shift is canceled and the camera returns to normal Program AE Mode if more than
10 seconds pass after Program Shift is activated. However, the Program Shift setting is
memorized.
Not available in these cases:
Program Shift will only allow adjustments to be made when there is an adequate amount of
•
light.
• Program Shift is available in all [Sensitivity] settings except [ ].
