Before use
■
Camera handling
Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force,
or pressure.
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions,
●
which may damage the lens, LCD monitor, or camera
body. This may also cause the camera to malfunction or
prevent recording.
• Dropping or hitting the camera against a hard surface
• Sitting down with the camera in your pants pocket or
forcing it into a full bag
• Adding accessories to the camera strap
• Pushing with excessive force on the lens or LCD monitor
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.
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions,
●
which present a risk that sand, water, or foreign material
may enter the camera through the lens or openings around
buttons. Be especially careful, because these conditions
may damage the camera and such damage may not be
repairable.
• In extremely dusty or sandy places
• In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be
exposed to water
■
Condensation (lens clouding)
Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to
●
sudden changes of temperature or humidity. Avoid these
conditions, which may make the lens 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, clouded lenses will clear
naturally.

■
Always take a test shot first
Before important events when you will use the camera (at weddings, for example), always
take a test shot to make sure that pictures and sound record correctly.
■
No compensation for missed shots
We cannot compensate for missed shots if technical problems with the camera or card
prevent recording.
■
Carefully observe copyright laws
Unauthorized use of recordings which contain works with copyright for purposes other
than personal use is prohibited under copyright law. Recording of certain material may be
restricted even for the purpose of personal use.

About batteries that you can use with this unit
Supplied battery or dedicated optional batteries can be used with this unit.
Refer to Basic Owner’s Manual about the accessory number of the available optional
batteries in your area.
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the
genuine products are made available to 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.

Charging the battery
The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery usage.
●
Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery has not been
used for some time.
Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.
●
Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged.
●
Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F)).
●
Keep any metal items (such as clips) away from the contact areas of the power plug.
●
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or resulting
heat generated.
We do not recommend frequently charging the battery.
●
(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause battery to
expand.)
Do not disassemble or modify the charger.
●
If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan.
●
Please purchase a new battery.
The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power is supplied.
●
The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the battery charger is connected to an
electrical outlet.
When charging:
●
• Remove any dirt on connectors of charger and battery with dry cloth.
• Keep at least 1 m (3.28 feet) away from AM radio (may cause radio interference).
• Noises may be emitted from inside of charger, but this is not a fault.
• Remove charger from wall socket after charging (up to 0.1 W consumed if left in
place).
Do not use a damaged or dented battery (especially connectors), e.g. by dropping (can
●
cause faults).
