Before Use
Care of this 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 minimize the possibility of damage please be sure the following precautions are
taken:
The Splash Proof feature works in conjunction with the H-HS12035 and H-HS35100 lenses
–
that were specifically designed to support this feature.
– Make sure the built-in flash is closed.
– Make sure that all doors, socket caps and terminal covers are securely closed.
– Make sure that you are in a dry and secure place when changing the battery, lens 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 touch or place any foreign objects within the camera or
in close proximity of the camera’s image sensor.
∫ 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 in a temperature stable environment for
several minutes. 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 stabilize before removing the camera from the bag.

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.
To attach the lens hood (flower shape) that came with the interchangeable lens
(H-HS12035)
Insert the lens hood into the lens
with the short sides at the top
and bottom, and turn in the
direction of the arrow until it
stops.

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 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.
