Do not disconnect the USB connection 
cable when the cable disconnection 
warning icon [K] is indicated. 
(Depending on the printer, the icon may 
not be displayed.)
If the remaining battery power becomes 
low while the camera and the printer are 
connected, the status indicator blinks 
and the alarm beeps. If this happens 
during printing, press [MENU/SET] and 
stop printing at once. If not printing, 
disconnect the USB connection cable.
The camera is receiving an error 
message from the printer when the [*] 
indication lights orange during printing. 
After fi nishing printing, make sure there 
are no problems with the printer.
If the total number of ordered prints or 
the number of pictures set for print is 
large, printing is performed at intervals. 
In such cases, the number of remaining 
prints shown on the display will differ 
from the number of prints you set. The 
discrepancy, however, does not indicate 
an error.
Date print function on the printer may 
have priority over the same settings on 
the camera. Check the setting on the 
printer as well. •

Cautions for Use
Optimal Use of the Camera
Take care not to drop or 
knock the unit or put a lot 
of pressure on it.
Do not leave the unit in 
your pants pocket when 
you sit down or forcefully 
insert it into a full bag etc.
Take care not to drop or 
knock the bag that you 
inserted the unit in as it 
may strongly shock the unit.
A strong shock may break the lens, 
screen or outer case and cause the 
camera to malfunction.
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 fi elds 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-AC6PP: 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.
If you record near radio transmitters or 
high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures 
and sound may be adversely affected.
Make sure to use the supplied cords 
and cables. If you use optional 
accessories, use the cords and the 
cables supplied with them. Do not 
extend the cords and the cables.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile 
chemicals onto the camera.
If the camera is sprayed with such 
chemicals, the camera body may be 
damaged and the surface fi nish may peel 
off.
Do not keep rubber or plastic products in 
contact with the camera for a long period 
of time.
  Maintenance
Uninstall the battery or DC coupler and 
wipe them with a soft, dry cloth when 
meintenance.
When the camera becomes dirty, clean 
it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Then 
wipe the camera with dry cloth.

Batteries
Be sure to remove the batteries when 
you will not be using the camera for a 
long period of time.
If the temperature is too high or low, 
the terminals may rust causing a 
malfunction.
If you drop the batteries accidentally, 
check to see if the body of the batteries 
and the terminals are damaged.
Inserting a damaged battery in the 
camera will damage the camera.
Bring charged spare batteries when 
going out.
Be aware that the operating time of 
the batteries becomes shorter in low 
temperature conditions such as at a ski 
resort.
Dispose of unusable batteries.
Batteries have a limited life.
Do not throw batteries into fi re because 
they may cause an explosion.
Unusable batteries should be discarded 
in accordance with battery recycling laws.
Call the RBRC hotline on 1-800-822-
8837 for information.
Do not allow battery terminals to come 
into contact with metal objects (such as 
necklaces, hairpins, etc.).
This can cause short circuiting or heat 
generation and you may be badly burned 
if you touch the batteries.
Card
Do not leave the card in places where 
there is high temperature or direct 
sunlight, or where electromagnetic 
waves or static electricity are easily 
generated.

About the picture data
Recorded data may be damaged or 
lost if the camera breaks down due to 
inappropriate handling. Panasonic will 
not be liable for any damage suffered 
due to loss of recorded data.
About tripods
When you use a tripod, make sure the 
tripod is stable when this unit is attached 
to it.
You may not be able to remove the card 
or the battery when using a tripod.
Make sure that the screw on the tripod 
is not at an angle when attaching or 
detaching the camera. You may damage 
the screw on the camera if you use 
excessive force when turning it. Also, the 
camera body and the rating label may be 
damaged or scratched if the camera is 
attached too tightly to the tripod.
Read the operating instructions for the 
tripod carefully. •
