Before Use
Care of the camera
∫Handling of the camera (to prevent water leakage and malfunction)
•Foreign objects may adhere to the inner side of the side door (around the 
rubber seal or connecting terminals)  when the side door is opened or 
closed in places with sand or dust, etc. This may result in the impairment 
of the waterproof performance if the side door is closed with foreign 
objects adhered. Be extremely careful since it may result in malfunction, 
etc.
•In case foreign objects adhere to the inner side of the side door, wipe 
them off with a dry, lint-free cloth.
•If any liquid such as water droplets is adhered to the camera or inner 
side of the side door, wipe off with a soft, dry cloth. Do not open or close 
the side door near the water, when underwater, using wet hands, or when 
the camera is wet. It may cause water leakage.
Do not apply strong shock or vibration by dropping or knocking the 
camera. Also, do not apply strong pressure to the camera.
e.g.: –
Sit down with the camera in your trousers  pocket or forcefully insert it into a 
full or tight bag, etc.
–Attach any items such as accessories to the strap attached to the camera.
–When strong pressure is applied using the camera at a depth exceeding 13 m (43 feet).•Waterproof performance may be impaired.•Lens or LCD monitor may be damaged.
•It may cause malfunction in the performance or the function.
Please be sure to read 
“(Important) About the Waterproof/Dustproof and Anti-shock 
Performance of the Camera
”  (P10)  before using this unit underwater to prevent the unit from 
being mishandled, which may cause water to seep in.

Before Use
∫When inner side of the lens is fogged (condensation)
This unit has been designed to prevent condensation by 
Anti-fog glass, however it may be caused by the environment 
in which the camera is used. It is not a malfunction or failure of 
the camera.
What to do when inner side of the lens is fogged
•
Turn this unit off and open the side door in a place with constant 
ambient temperature, away from high temperatures, humidity, sand 
and dust. The fog will disappear natura lly in 10 minutes to 2 hours with 
the side door open when the temperature of the camera gets close to 
the ambient temperature.
•Contact Panasonic if the fogging does not disappear.
Conditions in which inner side of the lens may be fogged
Condensation may occur and the inner side of the lens may be fogged when the camera is 
used in areas that undergo a significant change in  temperature or in high humidity, such as the 
following:
•
When the camera is used underwater suddenly after being on a hot beach, etc.•When the camera is moved to a warm area from a cold area, such as at a ski resort or at high 
altitude
•When the side door is opened in a high-humidity environment

Before Use
Your Panasonic Lumix digital still camera is GPS-equipped which can automatically record the 
precise location coordinates of where the photo was taken. The specific physical address of 
this location can easily be derived from this information. 
If you upload such “geotagged” photos to the Internet, a social networking site or any other 
electronic media, the precise location of w here the photo was taken will remain embedded in 
the photo and can be viewed by others. 
Therefore, when taking digital still photos, care should be taken in determining whether you 
wish to have the GPS feature enabled or disabled.
About the location name information of this unit
Be sure to read the “User License Agreement for Location Name data” on  P241 before using.
When [GPS Setting] is set to [ON], GPS function will operate even when this unit is 
turned off.
•
When you bring the camera on an airplane or to a hospital, etc., set [Airplane Mode] to  [ON], and turn off 
the camera because electromagnetic waves, etc. emitted by the camera may interfere with gauges.  (P53)
•Battery power is consumed even if this unit is turned off when [GPS Setting] is set to [ON].
About the information of recording location
•Location names of the recording locations or landmarks (such as name of the building, etc.) are as 
of October 2012. Information will not be updated.
•Depending on the country or the region, there may be less information for location names and 
landmark names.
About the positioning
•It will take longer for positioning in an environment where it is harder to receive the radio waves from 
the GPS satellites. (P121)
•Even if the receiving condition of the radio waves is excellent, it may take approx. 2 to 
3 minutes to complete the positioning when performing positioning for the first time or when 
you perform positioning after turning this unit on again after turning the unit off with the 
[GPS Setting] set to [OFF] or [Airplane Mode] set to [ON]. 
Using GPS assist data can reduce the time required for positioning.  (P128, 131)
•The positions of the GPS satellites  are changing constantly, so positioning may not be performed or 
the information may have errors depending on the recording location or conditions.
•For details on how to perform positioning smoothly, read “Receiving signals from GPS satellites” on  P121.
When used during overseas travel etc.
•The GPS may not operate in China or close to the Chinese border in neighbouring countries. (As of January 2013)
•The usage of GPS etc., may be restricted depending on the country or the region. This camera has 
a GPS function, so check with the embassies or travel agencies etc. prior to your overseas travel 
regarding any restrictions on cameras with a built-in GPS function.
•Information measured on this unit is only a rough indication. Do not use it for technical purposes.
•When using this unit for full-scale mountain climbing, trekking, or underwater, use the 
measured information (direction, altitude, depth, atmospheric pressure) only as a rough 
indication, and always carry a map and purpose-built measurement tools.

Before Use
(Important) About the Waterproof/Dustproof and 
Anti-shock Performance of the Camera
This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all 
conditions.
¢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.
¢ 2 “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 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 feet) to 200 cm (6.6 feet) dropping onto 3 cm 
(0.1 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.)
¢ 3 According to the test conditions specified by Panasonic.
Waterproof/Dustproof Performance
This camera’s waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the “IPX8” and “IP6X” 
ratings. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described in this document 
are strictly followed, this camera can operate underwater, to a depth not exceeding 
13 m (43 feet) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes. ( ¢1)
Anti-shock Performance This camera also complies with “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”. The camera 
has cleared a drop test from a height of 2 m (6.6 feet) onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick 
plywood. In most cases this camera should not sustain any damage if dropped from 
a height not exceeding 2 m (6.6 feet). ( ¢2)
Withstand Load Performance This camera complies with 100 kgf/220.5 lbf load tests. ( ¢3)
