Preparation

Care of the camera

Do not subject to strong vibration, shock, or pressure.

•

The lens, monitor, or external case may be damaged if used in the following conditions. It may also malfunction or image may not be record if you:

– Drop or hit the camera. – Press hard on the lens or the monitor.

The dust- and splash-proofing of this unit is not a guarantee of a full protection against the intrusion of dust and water. Please note the following to optimise the dust-proof and splash-proof performance:

Use a Panasonic interchangeable lens that supports the dust- and splash-proof design.

–

When you are using an interchangeable lens that does not support the dust-splash proofing or are using the mount adaptor (DMW-MA1: optional), the dust-splash proofing of this unit is disabled.

– Use with the built-in flash closed. – Securely close each door part, socket cap and terminal cover of this unit.

– When you attach/detach the lens or cap, or open/close the door, make sure to prevent sand,

dust, and water droplets from entering the interior of this unit.

– If this unit is exposed to water or other liquids, wipe off the liquid with soft dry cloths after use.

Do not place your hands inside the mount of the digital camera body. Since the sensor unit is a precision apparatus, it may cause a malfunction or damage.

∫ About Condensation (When the lens, the viewfinder or monitor is fogged up)

• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of

condensation since it causes lens, viewfinder and monitor stains, fungus and camera malfunction.

• If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will

disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature.

Cautions for Use

Optimal use of the camera

Keep this unit as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).

If you use this unit on top of or near a TV, the pictures and/or sound on this unit may be

•

disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.

• Do not use this unit near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting

the pictures and/or sound.

• Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields

created by speakers or large motors.

• Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect this unit,

disturbing the pictures and/or sound.

• If this unit is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly,

turn this unit off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (DMW-AC8E: optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn this unit on.

Do not use this unit near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.

•

If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and/or sound may be adversely affected.

Always use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the cords and the cables supplied with them. Do not extend the cords or the cables.

Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.

If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the

•

surface finish may peel off.

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

Cleaning

Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC coupler (DMW-DCC12: optional), or disconnect the power plug from the outlet. Then wipe the camera with a dry, soft cloth.

When the camera is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet cloth,

•

and then with a dry cloth.

• Wipe off any dirt or dust on the zoom ring and the focus ring with a dry, dustless cloth.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean the

camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the coating may peel off.

• When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.

(ENG) VQT4M51

Others

∫ About dirt on the image sensor

This camera features an interchangeable lens system so dirt may get inside the camera body when changing lenses. Depending on the recording conditions, dirt on the image sensor may appear on the recorded picture. To prevent debris or dust adhering to internal parts of the body, avoid changing the lens in a dusty environment and always fit the body cap or a lens when storing the camera. Remove any dirt on the body cap before attaching it.

Dust reduction function

This unit has a dust reduction function that will blow off the debris and dust that have affixed to the front of the imaging device. This function will function automatically when the camera is turned on, but if you see dust, perform the [Sensor Cleaning] in the [Setup] menu.

Removing dirt on the image sensor

The image sensor is very precise and delicate, so be sure to observe the following when you do have to clean it yourself.

Blow off the dust on the surface of the image sensor with a commercially available blower

•

brush. Be careful not to blow too strongly.

• Do not put the blower brush further inside than the lens mount.

• Do not let the blower brush touch the image sensor as the image sensor may get scratched.

• Do not use any objects except a blower brush to clean the image sensor.

• If you cannot remove the dirt or dust with the blower, consult the dealer or Panasonic.

∫ For care of the eye cup on the viewfinder

If the eye cup becomes dirty, detach it from

•

the camera body, gently wipe off the dirt with a soft, dry cloth, and then reattach it to the camera body.

• Be careful not to lose the eye cup.

• Keep the eye cup out of reach of children to

prevent swallowing.

Battery

Always remove the battery after use.

Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or keep away from metallic objects (clips,

•

etc.).

Bring charged spare batteries when going out.
