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 (59 oF to 77 oF), Recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)

(ENG) DVQX1101

≥

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 or battery charger is attached

with the terminal part in a deformed state, this unit or battery charger may be damaged.

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/battery charger

≥ If the temperature of the battery is extremely

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

≥ If the CHARGE indicators keeps flashing in

orange, make sure that the terminals of the battery or the battery charger are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects or dust, then reconnect them properly. Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust on the terminals of the battery or the battery charger.

≥ If the battery’s temperature is excessively

high or excessively low, the CHARGE indicators will blink orange. Charging will start automatically when the battery reaches an acceptable temperature for charging.

≥ If the CHARGE indicators blinks orange when

the battery’s temperature is normal, the battery or the battery charger may be malfunctioning. In such cases, contact your dealer.

≥ If you use the AC adaptor or battery charger

near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor or battery charger 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the radio.

≥ When using the AC adaptor or battery

charger, 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 0.1 W.)

≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC

adaptor, battery charger 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 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.

DVQX1101 (ENG)

≥ 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.

≥ 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 (1080/60p, 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.

(ENG) DVQX1101

≥ Those methods can record motion pictures in

formats that support 4K. 4K motion pictures offer a resolution four times higher than that of full high-definition motion pictures.

AVCHD:

This recording method is suitable for playback on a high-definition compatible external monitor. Audio is recorded in Dolby

Digital.

∫ Regarding system frequencies

You can change the system frequency (59.94 Hz/50.00 Hz) for this unit by using the menu. ([SYSTEM FREQ]: l 32) ≥ You cannot store AVCHD scenes recorded

with different system frequencies on the same SD card. If you have switched the system frequency, use another SD card.

∫ 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.

∫ 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.

∫ Cards that you can use with

this unit

SDHC Memory Card and SDXC Memory Card

≥ 4 GB or more Memory Cards that do not have

the SDHC logo or 48 GB or more Memory Cards that do not have the SDXC logo are not based on SD Memory Card Specifications.
