∫About the battery charger

•

The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power supply cord is connected. The

primary circuit is always “live” as long as the power cord is connected to an electrical outlet.

∫Cautions for Use

• Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (DMW-AC5G; optional).

• Do not use any other AV cables except the supplied one.

• Do not use any other cables except a genuine Panasonic component cable (DMW-HDC2;

optional).

• Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.

Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as

microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).

• If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may be

disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.

• Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely

affecting the pictures and sound.

• Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields

created by speakers or large motors.

• Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the

camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.

• If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning

properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (DMW-AC5G;

optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the camera on.

Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.

∫Care of the camera

• Do not strongly shake or bump the camera by dropping or hitting it. Do not subject to

strong pressure.

The camera may malfunction, recording pictures may become impossible, or the lens, the LCD

monitor or the external case may be damaged.

• We strongly recommend you do not leave the camera in your trousers pocket

when you sit down or forcefully insert it into a full or tight bag etc.

Damage to the LCD monitor or personal injury may result.

• Do not attach any other items to the hand strap that’s included with your

camera. While being stored, that item can rest against the LCD monitor and

damage it.

• Be particularly careful in the following places as they may cause this

unit to malfunction.

– Places with a lot of sand or dust.

– Places where water can come into contact with this unit such as when using

it on a rainy day or on a beach.

• Do not touch the lens or the sockets with dirty hands. Also, be careful not to allow

liquids, sand and other foreign matter to get into the space around the lens, buttons etc.

• This camera is not waterproof. If water or seawater splashes on the camera, use a dry

cloth to wipe the camera body carefully.

If the unit does not operate normally, please contact the dealer where you purchased the

camera or the repair service centre.

∫About Condensation (When the lens is fogged up)

• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of

condensation since it causes lens stains, fungus and camera malfunction.

• If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will

disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient

temperature.
