Usage cautions and notes
When in use
 ●Camera may become warm if used for long periods of time, but this is not a fault. ●Keep this unit as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as 
microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
 • If you use this unit on top of or near a TV
, the pictures and/or sound on this unit may 
be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
 • Do not use this unit near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely  affecting the pictures and/or sound.
 • Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.
 • Electromagnetic wave radiation may adversely affect this unit, disturbing the pictures and/or sound.
 • If this unit is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly

, turn this unit off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (optional). 
Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn this unit on.
Do not use this unit near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
 • If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and/ or sound may be adversely affected.
 ●Do not extend the supplied cord or cable. ●Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile substances (can 
cause surface damage or coating to peel).
 ●Do not keep objects that may be influenced magnetically close to the speaker . • Magnetized objects such as bank cards, commuter passes, watches, may be 
adversely affected by the magnetic influence of the speaker
.
 ●Never leave the camera and the battery in a car or on a car hood in the summer .
Doing so may cause leakage of the battery electrolyte, overheating, fire or a battery 
explosion due to the high temperature.
Caring for your camera
To clean your camera, remove the battery or the DC coupler (optional), or disconnect the 
power plug from the outlet, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
 ●Use a damp cloth to remove stubborn stains, before wiping with a dry cloth. ●Do not use benzine, thinners, alcohol, or kitchen detergent, as these may damage the

Usage cautions and notes
When not using for a while
 ●Turn off the camera before removing battery and card (ensure that battery is removed 
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.
Memory cards
 ●To prevent damage to cards and data • Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and static electricity. • Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts. • 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 inappropriate 
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 or 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 memory 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.
Monitor/viewfinder
 ●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 monitor or 
the viewfinder may appear slightly darker than normal immediately after the camera is 
turned on. Normal brightness will return once the internal components have warmed up.
The monitor and viewfinder are 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 and viewfinder screens are 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
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 has 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 being 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-circuiting or the 
resulting heat generated.
 ●Frequently charging up battery is not recommended.
(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause battery 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. by dropping (can 
cause faults).
Charger
 ●Depending on the environment while charging, the charging light may flicker due to 
static electricity or electromagnetic radiation, etc. This has no effect on charging.
 ●Keep at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from AM radio (may cause radio interference). ●The charger may generate whirring sounds when it is being used.  This is not a 
malfunction.
 ●After use, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet. (A  
very small amount of current is consumed if it is left connected.)
 ●Keep the terminals of the charger and battery clean. When they get dirty , clean with a 
dry cloth.
