Cautions for Use
•This camera has a waterproof/dustproof function equivalent to IP58. It is possible to take 
pictures in 3.0 m (10 feet) depth for 60 minutes.¢1
¢1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified pressure 
in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic. This does not guarantee 
no destruction, no malfunction, or  waterproofing in all conditions.
•Supplied accessories are not waterproof.•The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 1.5 m (5feet) onto 5 cm (16.4 feet) thick 
plywood, which is compliant with “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”¢ 2
¢2 This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result of being hit or 
dropped etc.
When an impact is applied to the camera, it is recommended to consult the dealer or your 
nearest Service Center, and perform a check up (subject to a fee) to see if the 
waterproofing has been retained properly.
Malfunction caused by exposure to water due to  mishandling by the customer will not be 
covered by the warranty.
For more detail, refer to “(Important) About the waterproof/dustproof and anti-shock 
performance of the camera” (P10).
Take care not to drop or knock the unit or put a lot of pressure on it.
•
Take care not to knock or drop the bag/case that you inserted the camera in as the shock may 
cause damage to the camera, lens or LCD monitor.
•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.
•Do not use a paper bag as it can easily rip causing the camera to fall and be damaged.•We strongly recommend you purchase a good camera bag/case from your local dealer to 
protect your camera.
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-AC5PP; 
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.

Always 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 or the cables.
Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.
•
If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the 
surface finish may peel off.
•Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.
The performance of the camera is not guaranteed in cold climates such as in ski 
resorts. Operation at -10oC is checked, but the zoom lever may get frozen and hard 
to move or card/battery door and terminal cover may become hard to open when the 
temperature drops rapidly, so take caution.
•
When using the camera in cold climates, place the camera inside the protective gear or 
clothing to keep it warm when using it.
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery, or disconnect the power plug from 
the outlet. Then wipe the camera with a dry soft cloth.
• When the camera is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet  cloth, and then with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean  the camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the coating may peel off.
• When using a chemically treated cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.
•
Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the LCD 
monitor and it may malfunction.
•If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the  picture on the LCD monitor will be slightly darker 
than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal 
temperature of the camera increases.
•Do not press the lens with excessive force.•Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it 
to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
•If there is water or dirt on the lens, wipe it off with dry soft cloth before taking a picture.•A sound might be muffled or warped when there is water on the microphone or the speaker. 
Wipe the residue after letting the water drip out from the microphone and speaker by tipping it 
down, and use it after letting it dry for a while.
•Do not poke the holes of microphone and speaker with sharp points. (It may damage the 
waterproof sheet inside, which may damage the waterproof performance.)
Cleaning
About the LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is em ployed to produce the LCD monitor screen. 
However, there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. 
This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective 
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be 
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.

The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power comes 
from the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to 
the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low, 
the operating time of the battery will become shorter.
Always remove the battery after use.
•
Store the removed battery in the battery case (supplied).
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the 
body of the battery 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 battery becomes shorter in 
low temperature conditions such as at a ski resort.
•When you travel, do not forget to bring the battery charger (supplied) so that you can charge 
the battery in the country that you are traveling in.
Dispose of unusable battery.
•The battery has a limited life.•Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.•The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws. Call the 
RBRC hotline at 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 a 
battery.
•If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio reception may be disturbed.•Keep the charger 1 m (3.28 feet) or more away from radios.•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.
Do not leave the card where the temperature is high, where electromagnetic waves 
or static electricity are easily generated or exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not bend or drop the card.
•
The card may be damaged or the recorded content may be damaged or deleted.•Put the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when storing or carrying the 
card.
•Do not allow dirt, dust or water to get into the terminals on the back of the card and do not touch 
the terminals with your fingers.
Notice for when transferring to another party, or disposing of the memory card
•“Format” or “delete” using the camera or a PC will only modify the file management information, 
and it will not erase the data in the memory card completely.
It is recommended to physically destroy the memory card or use the commercially available 
computer data deletion software to completely erase the data in the memory card before 
transferring to another party or disposing.
Management of data in the memory card is the responsibility of the user.
