Before Use

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, monitor, viewfinder, 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 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 (When the lens, the monitor, or viewfinder, 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, monitor, or viewfinder, dirty, cause mould, 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.

SQW0550

Before Use

We cannot compensate for missed shots if technical problems with the camera or card prevent recording.

■

Carefully observe copyright laws

Unauthorised use of recordings that 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.

■

Also refer to “Usage cautions and notes” (→398)

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.
