The test method of the camera is in compliance with 
“MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”
¢.
¢ “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock” is the test 
method standard of the U.S. Defense Department, 
which specifies performing drop tests from a height 
of 122 cm (4.0 feet), at 26 orientations (8 corners, 
12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of devices, and 
passing the 26 orientation drops within 5 devices.
(If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to 
pass the drop orientation test within a total of 5 
devices)
•Panasonic’s test method is based on the above 
“MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”. However, the 
drop height was changed from 122 cm (4.0 feet) to 
200 cm (6.6 feet) dropping onto 3 cm (0.10 feet) thick 
plyboard. This drop test was passed.
(Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint 
or distortion of the part where drop impact is applied.)
There is no guarantee of not breaking or 
malfunctioning under all conditions.
Dustproof 
performance Equivalent to IEC 60529 “IP6X”.
