1. Before Use
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 recorded if you:
– Drop or hit the camera.
– Press hard on the lens or the monitor.
This camera is not dust/drip/water proof.
Avoid using the camera in places with a lot of dust, water, sand, etc.
Liquid, sand and other foreign material may get into the space around the lens, buttons, etc. Be
•
particularly careful since it may not just cause malfunctions, but it may also become irreparable.
– Places with a lot of sand or dust.
– Places where water can come into contact with this unit, such as when using it on a rainy day
or at the beach.
If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the monitor, wipe them off with a
dry soft cloth.
Not doing so may cause the monitor to respond incorrectly to touch operations.
–
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.
If you shake the camera while it is turned off, its sensors may move or a rattling sound
may be heard. The sound is caused by the In-Body Image Stabiliser, and this is not a
malfunction.
∫ 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.

The interchangeable lens (H-FS12032) does not have a focus ring, but you can use manual
•
focus by operating the camera. (P106)
•
The interchangeable lens (H-H020A) utilises a lens drive system to realize a compact and
bright F1.7 lens. As a result, sound and vibration may occur during focus operation, but this is
not a malfunction.
• Operating sounds will be recorded when auto focus is performed during motion picture
recording. It is recommended to record with [Continuous AF] (P170) set to [OFF], if the sound
of operation bothers you. (P166) Also, it is not possible to set the Focus Mode to [AFC] or
[AFF]. (P95)

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.
