Preparation

Charging the Battery

•Use the dedicated charger and battery.

•The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery before use.

•Charge the battery with the charger indoors.

•Charge the battery in a temperature between 10 oC to 35 oC. (The battery temperature should also be the same.)

1 Attach the battery with attention to the direction of the battery.

2 Connect the charger to the electrical outlet.

•The AC cable does not fit entirely into the AC input terminal. A gap will remain as shown below.

•Charging starts when the [CHARGE] indicator A lights green.

•Charging is complete when the [CHARGE] indicator A turns off (after approx. 120 min maximum).

3 Detach the battery after charging is completed.

- 13 -

Preparation

∫ When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes

•The battery temperature is excessively high or low. The charging time will be longer than normal. Also, charging may not be completed.

•The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry cloth.

Note

•After charging is completed, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet.

•The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.

•The battery will be exhausted if left for a long period of time after being charged.

•The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully charged. (The battery has characteristics that will reduce its operating duration and cause the battery to swell up.)

•When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.

•Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug. Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting heat generated.

•Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording.

•Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide or vice versa in every recording.

•Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery decreases.

¢The number of recordable pictures decreases in Auto Power LCD mode, Power LCD mode and High angle mode (P28).

- 15 -

Preparation

The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time. If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures decreases. [e.g. When recording once every 2 minutes, the number of recordable pictures decreases to about 75 (DMC-FS5)/82 (DMC-FS3).]

Playback time	Approx. 300 min

The number of recordable pictures and playback time will vary depending on the operating conditions and storing condition of the battery.

∫ Charging

Charging time	Approx. 120 min maximum

Charging time and number of recordable pictures with the optional battery pack are the same as above.

The charging time will vary slightly depending on the status of the battery and the conditions in the charging environment.

When the charging has been completed successfully, the [CHARGE] indicator turns off.

Note

•The battery may swell and its operating time may become shorter as the number of times it is charged increases. For long term battery use, we recommend you do not frequently charge the battery before it is exhausted.

•The performance of the battery may temporarily deteriorate and the operating time may become shorter in low temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/snowboarding).

¢You can use an SDHC Memory Card in equipment that is compatible with SDHC Memory Cards however you cannot use an SDHC Memory Card in equipment that is only compatible with SD

Memory Cards. (Always read the operating instructions for the equipment being used.)

•You can only use cards with SDHC logo (indicating compliance with the SD standard) if using cards with 4 GB or more capacity.

•Please confirm the latest information on the following website.

http://panasonic.co.jp/pavc/global/cs

(This Site is English only.)

Note

•Do not turn this unit off, remove its battery or card or disconnect the AC adaptor (optional) when the access indication is lit [when pictures are being read or deleted or the built-in memory or the card is being formatted (P32)]. Furthermore, do not subject the camera to vibration or impact. The card or the data on the card may be damaged, and this unit may no longer operate normally.

•The data on the built-in memory or the card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic waves, static electricity or breakdown of the camera or the card. We recommend storing important data on a PC etc.

•Do not format the card on your PC or other equipment. Format it on the camera only to ensure proper operation. (P32)

•Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
