∫ 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 (including any other non-built-in memory related component).
∫ About Condensation
(When the lens, the viewfinder
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.

∫ About batteries that you can use with this unit
The battery that can be used with this unit is VW-VBT190/VW-VBT380.
≥ The unit has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used safely. The
dedicated battery (VW-VBT190/VW-VBT380) supports this function. The only batteries

product 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 would recommend that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.

A clicking sound is heard
when the unit is shaken.
Object seems to be
warped.
The lens, the viewfinder or
LCD monitor fog up.
≥ This is the sound of the lens moving and is not a defect.
This sound will no longer be heard when the unit is turned on
and set this unit to the Motion Picture Recording Mode or Still
Picture Recording Mode.
≥ Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves
across the image very fast, but this is because the unit is
using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.

≥ Remove the battery or AC adaptor, wait about 1 minute and
then reconnect the battery or AC adaptor. Then about
1 minute later, turn on the unit again. (Conducting the above
operation while the media is being accessed may damage the
