(Important) About the Waterproof/ Dustproof and Anti-shock Performance of the Camera

Waterproof/Dustproof Performance

This camera’s waterproof/dustproo f ratin g co mplie s with the “IPX 8” and
“IP6X” ratings. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described in
this document are strictly followed, this camera can operate underwater, to a
depth not exceeding 13 m (43 feet) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes. (¢1)

Anti-shock Performance

This camera also complies with “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”. The
camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 2 m (6.6 feet) onto 3 cm
(0.1 feet) thick plywood. In most cases this camera should not sustain any
damage if dropped from a height not exceeding 2 m (6.6 feet). (¢2)

Withstand Load Performance

This camera complies with 100 kgf/220.5 lbf load tests. (¢3)

This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all
conditions.

¢1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified

pressure in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic.

¢2 “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock” is the test method standard of the U.S. Defense

Department, which specifies performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm (4 feet), at
26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of devices, and passing the
26 orientation drops within 5 devices. (If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to
pass the drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices)
Panasonic’s test method is based on the above “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”.
However, the drop height was changed from 122 cm (4 feet) to 200 cm (6.6 feet) dropping
onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plyboard. This drop test was passed.
(Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or distortion of the part where
drop impact is applied.)

¢3 According to the test conditions specified by Panasonic.

Recording using the GPS function

∫ About the “GP S”

GPS is an abbreviation of [Global Positioning System], which is a system that allows
you to check your position utilizing GPS satellites.
Calculating the current position by receiving radio waves including orbit information
and clock information from multiple GPS satellites is called positioning.
This unit is also compatible with the “GLONASS” satellite positioning system operated
by the Russian government.
The unit can record location name information and latitude/longitude for the recorded
image and automatically correct the time.

Your Panasonic Lumix digital still camera is GPS-equipped which can automatically
record the precise location coordinates of where the photo was taken. The specific
physical address of this location can easily be derived from this information.
If you upload such “geotagged” photos to the Internet, a social networking site or any
other electronic media, the precise location of where the photo was taken will remain
embedded in the photo and can be viewed by others.
Therefore, when taking digital still photos, care shoul d be taken in determining whet her
you wish to have the GPS feature enabled or disabled.

∫ Receiving signals from GPS satellites

•

It is recommended to use by holding the camera still for a while at an outdoor location
clear to the sky, with the antenna pointed upward.

•Radio waves from GPS satellites cannot be received properly at the following locations, so

the positioning may not be possible or a significant error may occur.

–Indoor/underground or underwater/in the woods/traveling in a train or a car etc./close to or

between buildings/close to high voltage lines/inside a tunnel/close to mobile phones
working on 1.5 GHz band etc.

•Do not cover the GPS antenna with your hands etc.

•Do not carry the unit inside a metallic case or similar when positioning. Positioning is not

possible when the unit is covered by metal etc.
