About the battery

The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity and temperature and the effect increases the more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas, the full charge indication may not appear or the low battery indication may appear about 5 minutes after starting use. At high temperatures, the protection function may be triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.

Be sure to detach the battery after use.

≥ If the battery is left attached, a minute amount

of current continues to flow even if the unit is off. Keeping the unit in this state may result in over discharge of the battery. This may result in you not being able to use the battery even after it is charged.

≥ The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag

so metal does not come into contact with the terminals.

≥ The battery should be stored in a cool place

free from humidity, with as constant temperature as possible. (Recommended temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC, Recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)

≥ Extremely high temperatures or low

temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

≥ If the battery is kept in high-temperature,

high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

≥ To store the battery for a long period of time,

we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you have completely used up the charged capacity.

≥ Dust and other matter attached to the battery

terminals should be removed.

Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording.

≥ Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4

times the period you are planning to record for. Cold places such as a ski resort can shorten recording time.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are damaged.

≥ When this unit is attached with the terminal

part in a deformed state, this unit may be damaged.

DVQX1483 (ENG)

Do not throw old battery into fire.

≥ Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may

result in an explosion.

If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.

About the AC adaptor

≥ If the temperature of the battery is extremely

high or extremely low, charging may take time or the battery may not be charged.

≥ If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio

reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m or more away from the radio.

≥ When using the AC adaptor, it may generate

whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC cable

from the AC outlet. (If you leave this unit connected, the AC adaptor will consume approximately 0.3 W.)

≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC

adaptor and battery clean.

≥ Install the device near an AC outlet so

that the power disconnection device (AC mains plug) can be accessed easily by hand.

About charging lamp during charging

When the charging lamp is flashing, the following should be considered.

Flashing with approx. 4 second period (off for approx. 2 seconds, on for approx. 2 seconds):

≥ When the battery is over discharged or the

temperature of the battery is too high or low. It can be charged, but it may take a few hours to complete the charging normally.

≥ Once normal charging starts, the charging

lamp lights up green. However, depending on the conditions of use, even when normal charging is taking place, the charging lamp may keep flashing in approx. 4 second intervals until charging is completed.

Flashing with approx. 0.5 second period (off for approx. 0.25 second, on for approx.

0.25 second):

≥ The battery is not charged. Remove the

battery from the unit, and try charging again.

≥ Check that the terminals of the unit or battery

are not dirty or covered with a foreign object, and connect the battery correctly once again. If a foreign object or dirt is present, turn off the unit before removing.

≥ The battery or environment is at an extremely

high or low temperature. Wait until the temperature has returned to an appropriate level and try charging again. If you are still unable to charge, there may be a fault in the unit, battery or AC adaptor.

Off:

≥ Charging has finished. ≥ If the status indicator stays off despite the

charging being unfinished, there may be a fault in the unit, battery or AC adaptor. Refer to page 6 for details on the battery.

About the SD card

When disposing of or giving away the SD card, note that:

≥ Formatting and deletion of this unit or

computer only changes the file management information and does not completely delete the data in the SD card.

≥ It is recommended that the main SD card is

either physically destroyed or the SD card is physically formatted using this unit when disposing of or giving away the SD card.

≥ To physically format, connect this unit to the

AC adaptor, select [OTHER FUNCTION] # [FORMAT MEDIA] # [SD CARD 1] or [SD CARD 2] from the menu, and touch [YES]. Press and hold recording start/stop button in the following screen for three seconds. Screen to delete the SD card data is displayed, so select [YES] and follow the instruction on the screen.

(ENG) DVQX1483

≥ The customer is responsible for the

management of the data in the SD card.

LCD monitor/viewfinder

≥ When the LCD screen is dirty or

condensation has occurred, please wipe it using a soft cloth such as a lens cloth.

≥ Do not touch the LCD monitor with your finger

nails, or rub or press with strong force.

≥ It may become hard to see or hard to

recognize the touch when the LCD protection sheet is affixed.

≥ When the unit has become very cold, for

example due to storage in a cold area, its LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual immediately after the unit is turned on. The normal brightness will be restored when the unit’s internal temperature rises.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen. The result is more than 99.99% effective dots with a mere 0.01% of the dots inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the viewfinder screen. The result is more than 99.99% effective dots with a mere 0.01% of the dots inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

∫ About the recording method

for recording motion pictures

This unit can record motion pictures using three different recording methods, including MOV, MP4 and AVCHD * AVCHD Progressive (1080/50p) supported.

MOV and MP4:

These recording methods are suitable for editing images. Audio is recorded in linear PCM. ≥ Those methods are not compatible with

motion pictures recorded in AVCHD format.

AVCHD:

This recording method is suitable for playback on a high-definition TV. Audio is recorded in Dolby Audio™.

∫ Indemnity about recorded

content

Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or edited content, and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any type of repair is made to the unit.

∫ About Condensation

(When the lens, the viewfinder or LCD Monitor is fogged up)

Condensation occurs when there is a change in temperature or humidity, such as when the unit is taken from outside or a cold room to a warm room. Please be careful, as it may cause the lens, the viewfinder or LCD monitor to become soiled, moldy, or damaged. When taking the unit to a place which has a different temperature, if the unit is accustomed to the room temperature of the destination for about one hour, condensation can be prevented. (When the difference in temperature is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the like, remove air from the bag, and seal the bag.) When condensation has occurred, remove the battery and/or the AC adapter and leave the unit like that for about one hour. When the unit becomes accustomed to the surrounding temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally.

DVQX1483 (ENG)

∫ About security

Be careful about the possibility of theft or loss of the unit, and be careful not to leave the unit unattended. Please note that Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for the compromise, manipulation, and loss of information caused by these events.

∫ Caution regarding laser beams

The lens may suffer damage if struck by a laser beam. Make sure that laser beams do not strike the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.

∫ Caution regarding the lens and

the viewfinder

Do not aim the lens or viewfinder at the sun or strong light. Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.
