Usage cautions and notes
Caring for your camera
To clean your camera, remove the battery, the DC coupler (optional) or a card, or 
disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and wipe with a soft, dry clo\
th.
 ●Use a damp cloth to remove stubborn stains, before wiping with a dry clo\
th. ●Do not use benzine, thinners, alcohol, or kitchen detergent, as these ma\
y damage the 
outer casing and finish of the camera.
 ●If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the supplied instructions care\
fully. ●Do not touch the lens barrier.
Lens barrier
When not using for a while
 ●Turn off the camera before removing battery and card (ensure that battery is r\
emoved 
to prevent damage through over-discharge).
 ●Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags. ●Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries in 
cool (15  °C to 25   °C (59   °F to 77   °F)) places with low humidity (40%RH to 60%RH) and 
no major temperature changes.
 ●Charge battery once per year and use completely before storing again. ●Check all the parts before taking pictures when you have not used the ca\
mera for a 
long period of time.
Monitor
 ●Do not press hard on the monitor. This may cause uneven display and damage the 
monitor.
 ●In cold climates or other situations when the camera becomes cold, the m\
onitor may 
appear slightly darker than normal immediately after the camera is turne\
d on. Normal 
brightness will return once the internal components have warmed up.
The monitor is made with extremely high precision technology. However there may be 
some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. 
The monitor screen is controlled with extremely high precision, but some\
 pixels may 
be inactive. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on a card.

Usage cautions and notes
Lens
 ●Do not press the lens with excessive force. ●Images may appear slightly white if lens is dirty (fingerprints, etc.)\
. Turn the camera on, 
hold the extracted lens barrel with your fingers, and gently wipe the le\
ns surface with a 
soft, dry cloth.
 ●Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light fr\
om the sun may 
cause it to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a 
window.
 ●Do not touch the lens barrier, as this may damage the lens. Be careful when removing 
camera from bag, etc.
Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery.
This battery is easily affected by temperature and humidity, and is affected more when the 
temperature is high or low.
 ●The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery\
 usage. 
Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery h\
as not been 
used in some time.
 ●Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter. ●Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after be\
ing charged. ●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-circuiti\
ng or the 
resulting heat generated.
 ●Frequently charging up battery is not recommended. 
(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause b\
attery to 
expand.)
 ●If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching\
 end of lifespan. 
Please purchase a new battery.
 ●When charging: • Wipe dirt from the battery terminal with a dry cloth. • Keep at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from 
AM radio (may cause radio interference).
 ●Do not use a damaged or dented battery (especially connectors), e.g. b\
y dropping (can 
cause faults).

Usage cautions and notes
AC adaptor (supplied)
 ●Keep at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from AM radio (may cause radio interference). ●The AC adaptor (supplied) may generate whirring sounds when it is being us\
ed. This is 
not a malfunction.
 ●After use, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electr\
ical outlet. (A 
very small amount of current is consumed if it is left connected.)
Memory cards
 ●To prevent damage to cards and data • Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and stat\
ic electricity.
 • Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts. • Put the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when stor\
ing or carrying the card.
 • Do not touch terminals on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty \
or wet. ●Recorded data may be damaged or lost if the camera breaks down due to in\
appropriate 
handling. Panasonic will not be liable for any damage caused due to loss\
 of recorded 
data.
 ●When disposing of/transferring memory cards • If using the “format” or “delete” functions on your camera o\
r computer , this only 
changes the file management information, and does not completely delete \
the data 
from within the memory card. When disposing of or transferring your memo\
ry cards, 
we recommend physically destroying them, or using commercially available\
 computer 
data erasing software to completely delete the data from the card. Data \
within 
memory cards should be managed responsibly.
When using a tripod or unipod
 ●Do not apply excessive force or tighten screws when they are crooked. (\
This may 
damage the camera, screw hole, or label.)
 ●Ensure that the tripod is stable. (Refer to the tripod instructions.) ●You may not be able to remove the card or the battery when using a tripod\
 or unipod.

Usage cautions and notes
Wi-Fi function
 ■Use the camera as a wireless LAN device
When using equipment or computer systems that require more reliable secu\
rity than 
wireless LAN devices, ensure that the appropriate measures are taken for\
 safety designs 
and defects for the systems used. Panasonic will not take any responsibi\
lity for any 
damage that arises when using the camera for any purpose other than as a\
 wireless LAN 
device.
 ■Use of the Wi-Fi function of this camera is presumed to be in countries where 
this camera is sold
There is the risk that the camera violates the radio wave regulations if\
 used in countries 
other than those where this camera is sold, and Panasonic takes no respo\
nsibility for any 
violations.
 ■There is the risk that data sent and received via radio waves may be int\
ercepted
Please note that there is the risk that data sent and received via radio\
 waves may be 
intercepted by a third party. We strongly recommend that you enable encryption in the 
settings of your wireless access point to ensure information security.
 ■Do not use the camera in areas with magnetic fields, static electricity \
or 
interference
 • Do not use the camera in areas with magnetic fields, static electricity \
or interference,  such as near microwave ovens. Radio waves may not reach the camera.
 • Using the camera near devices such as microwave ovens or cordless teleph\
ones that use the 2.4 GHz radio wave band may cause a decrease in performance\
 in both 
devices.
 ■Do not connect to the wireless network you are not authorized to use
When the camera utilizes its Wi-Fi function, wireless networks will be s\
earched 
automatically. When this happens, wireless networks that you are not authorized to us\
e 
(SSID *
) may be displayed, however do not attempt to connect to the network as it may be 
considered as unauthorized access.
*
  SSID refers to the name that is used to identify a network over a wirele\
ss LAN connection. If the 
SSID matches for both devices, transmission is possible.
