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 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.

About batteries that you can use with this unit
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.

Combining pictures into a single still picture with rich gradation ([iHDR])

Recording mode:
When there is, for example, strong contrast between the background and the subject, [iHDR] records multiple still pictures with differing exposures and combines them to create a single still picture rich in gradation. [iHDR] is activated when required. When activated, [ ] will be displayed on the screen.
[Rec] → [iHDR] → [ON] / [OFF]
The angle of view becomes narrow slightly.
After the shutter button has been pressed, do not move the camera during the burst operation.
Since a burst of still pictures are combined after they have been recorded, it will be a few
moments before you can record another picture. In the case of composition from a burst, afterimages may appear if the subject was moving.
This function will not work for still pictures while motion pictures are being recorded.
This function is not available in the following cases:
• When recording using the flash
• When using [Burst]
• When recording 4K photos
• When using [Auto Bracket]
• When recording using [Post Focus]
• When [Quality] is set to [
• When using [Time Lapse Shot]
