Preparations

Before use

■

Camera handling

Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.

●

The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.

●

Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where water can come into contact with the camera. Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile substances (can cause

●

surface damage or coating to peel).

■

Condensation (When the lens or the monitor is fogged up)

Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes of temperature or

●

humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens or monitor dirty, cause mold, or damage the camera. If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours before using it. Once

●

the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature, the fogging will clear naturally.

■

Caring for your camera

To clean your camera, remove the battery, the DC coupler (DMW-DCC15A: 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 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. 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.

●

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 (DMW-AC10PP: optional) or DC coupler (DMW-DCC15A: 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.

It cannot connect to the wireless LAN. Radio waves get disconnected. Wireless access point is not displayed.

General tips for using a Wi-Fi connection

• Use within the communication range of the wireless LAN network.

• If any device, such as microwave oven, cordless phone, etc., that uses 2.4 GHz frequency

are used nearby this unit simultaneously, radio waves may get interrupted.

→ Use them sufficiently away from the device.

• When the battery indicator is flashing red, the connection with other equipment may not

start or the connection may be disrupted. (A message such as [Communication error] is displayed.)

• When this unit is placed on a metal table or shelf, the connection may not be established

easily because the camera is affected by radio waves. Use the camera away from metal surfaces.

About a wireless access point

• Check if the wireless access point to connect is in operating state.

• Check the radio wave condition of the wireless access point. → Perform the connection closer to the wireless access point. → Move the location or change the angle of the wireless access point.

• It may not display even if the radio waves exist depending on the setting of the wireless

access point.

→ Turn off the wireless access point and then turn it back on.

• If the network SSID of the wireless access point is set not to broadcast, it may not be

detected.

→ Enter and set the network SSID. Alternatively, set the network SSID of the wireless access

point to broadcast.
