This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunct ion with any other 
antenna or transmitter.
This available scientific evidence does not show that any healt h problems are 
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that 
these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power  Wireless devices 
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave  range while being 
used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by  heating issue), 
exposure of low-level RF that does  not produce heating effects causes no known 
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures  have not found any 
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biolo gical effects might 
occure, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional  research.
DMC-SZ10 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation  exposure limits 
set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC rad io frequency (RF) 
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
FCC Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the lim its for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These lim its are designed to 
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a  residential 
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate r adio frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the in structions, may cause 
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is  no guarantee that 
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If th is equipment does cause 
harmful interference to radio or  television reception, which can be determined by 
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different fro m that to which the receiver 
is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, follow the attache d installation 
instructions and use only shielded interface cables with ferrit e core when connecting 
to computer or peripheral devices.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part y responsible for 
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equi pment.

Tips for taking good pictures
Hold the camera gently with 
both hands, keep your arms 
still at your side and stand 
with your feet slightly apart.
•Be careful not to put your fingers 
on the flash, AF assist lamp, 
microphone, speaker or lens etc.
•When using the zoom without 
holding the camera, such as when 
recording with the self-timer or 
performing remote recording, the 
lens barrel will be extended or 
retracted. This may cause the 
camera to tilt. We recommend 
fixing the camera on a tripod or 
other support.
A Tripod mount
It may not be possible to attach 
and securely fasten a tripod 
with a screw length of 5.5 mm 
(0.22 inch) or more to the 
camera. Doing so may also 
damage the camera.
It may not be possible to attach 
certain types of tripods properly.
