Preface
Features
This video surveillance camera is equipped with a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX terminal
(network terminal) for connection to a network.
This network terminal is used to establish a connection between the camera and a LAN

Precaution
The camera does not have a power
switch.
In order to the power off, turn the power
breaker off.
Note the following to ensure long-term
trouble-free operation.
Long operation under high temperatures
and high humidity can cause components
to deteriorate and shorten camera life.
(Less than +35°C (95°F) is recommended)
Make sure that the camera is installed in a
location where it is not directly exposed to
heat from a radiator, heater, etc.
Do not touch the dome cover with your
bare hands.
A dirty dome cover causes deterioration of
picture quality.
Handle the camera carefully.
Do not drop the camera, or subject it to
strong impact or vibration.
Doing so may cause a malfunction.
About the PC to be used
Displaying the same image on CRT type
PC monitors for a long time may damage
the monitor. We recommend using a
screen saver.
Cleaning the camera
Before cleaning the camera, turn the power
off. Not doing so may cause injury.
Do not wipe or use volatile solutions such
as benzene or paint thinner on the camera.
Doing so may discolor the case. When
using a chemically-treated cloth, read and
follow the precautions for the cloth.
In the case of stubborn dirt
Wipe with a soft cloth moistened in a weak
solution of water and neutral kitchen
detergent. Wring all excess moisture from
the cloth before wiping. Next, wipe off all
remaining solution with a soft, dry cloth.
Product Information
Check the product ID, power requirements,
and other information marked on the rear
and bottom of the product.
Refresh Interval
The refresh interval may be longer
depending on the network environment, PC
performance, photographic subject, access
traffic, etc.
Cleaning the lens
Use lens cleaning paper (like the type
available for cleaning eyeglasses or a
camera lens) to clean the lens. Alcoholbased solvents may be used for cleaning
the lens. Do not use glass cleaners or paint
thinners.

SD Memory Card
• Before inserting an SD memory card,
turn the camera off. If the SD memory
card is inserted while the camera is still
turned on, the SD memory card may
not function properly, or the data
recorded on the SD memory card may
be damaged.
For details on how to insert and remove
SD memory cards, see page 32.
• Format unformatted SD memory cards
on this system before use. When an SD
memory card is formatted, all content
recorded on the card will be erased. If
an unformatted SD memory card or an
SD memory card formatted on a
different system is used on this camera,
the SD memory card may not function
properly, or the camera's performance
may be reduced.
• For details on how to format SD
memory cards, refer to the "Setup
Manual."
• We recommend using SD memory
cards whose operation has already
been confirmed (→ page 16). When an
SD memory card other than one
recommended by Panasonic is used,
the SD memory card may not function
properly, or the camera's performance
may be reduced.
CCD Color Filter Burn-in
Intense light concentrated on one spot for a
long period can cause deterioration of the
CCD internal color filters, and discoloration
of the affected part. Even if the position of a
fixed camera is changed, the discoloration
at the previous location of the concentrated
light will remain on the screen.
11
Precaution (continued)
Do not point the camera at a strong light
source.
• Intense light such as that produced by a
spotlight concentrated on one part of
the screen can cause blooming
(rainbow around the strong light) or
smearing (vertical stripes above and
below the strong light).
Smearing
Blooming

Consumables
The item listed below is a consumable.
Replace it using the service life values as
guides. Note that actual service life is
affected by the operating environment and
conditions.
Cooling fan: Approx. 30,000 hours
Dehumidifying Element
• This camera has a built-in dehumidifying element to maintain a low-humidity
state inside the camera. This prevents
condensation from forming.
• Condensation forms due to temperature, humidity, weather and other
conditions, and may take time to clear
up.
• Do not block the surface of the
dehumidifying element.

Functions
Super Dynamic
When there is wide variation between the illumination of light and dark areas of the location
being monitored, the camera adjusts the lens iris in accordance with the bright areas. This
causes loss of detail in dark areas. Conversely, adjusting lens brightness for the dark areas
causes brighter areas to become washed out.
