Usage cautions and notes
When in use
Camera may become warm if used for long periods of time, but this is not a fault. To avoid jitter, use a tripod and place in a stable location.
  (Especially when using telescopic zoom, lower shutter speeds, or self-timer)
 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-AC5E; 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.
 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).
 Never leave the camera and the battery in a car or on a car bonnet in the summer.
  It may cause leakage of the battery electrolyte, a generation of heat, and may cause a 
fire and the battery to burst due to the high temperature.
Caring for your camera
To clean your camera, remove the battery or disconnect AC mains lead, and wipe with a 
soft, dry cloth.
 Use a well-wrung wet cloth to remove stubborn stains, before wiping again with a dry 
cloth.
 Do not use benzene, thinners, alcohol, or kitchen detergent, as these may damage 
the outer casing and finish of the camera.
 If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the supplied instructions carefully. Do not touch the lens barrier (P.11). 
When not using for a while
 Turn off camera power 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-25 °C (59 °F-77 °F)) places with low humidity (40% - 60%) 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 connectors on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet. 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 the memory card itself, or using commercially 
available computer data erasing software to completely delete the data from the 
card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly.
Personal Information
If names or birthdays are set in BABY mode or in the FACE RECOG. function , 
personal information will be included in the camera and the pictures that have been 
taken.
 Disclaimer
 Data containing personal information can be altered or lost due to malfunction, static electricity, 
accidents, breakdowns, repairs, or other operations.
Panasonic will not be liable for any damage that occurs, direct or indirect, as a result of the 
alteration or loss of data containing personal information.
 When ordering repairs or transferring/disposing of the camera
 •  To protect your personal information, please reset the settings. (P.24) •  If any pictures are contained in the built-in memory, copy (P.98) them to a memory card if 
necessary, and then format (P.26) the built-in memory.
 •  Remove the memory card from the camera. •  When ordering repairs, the built-in memory and other settings may be returned to the 
initial purchase state.
 
•  If the above operations cannot be performed because of a camera malfunction, 
consult with the dealer or nearest Service Centre.
When transferring or disposing of your memory card, see ‘When disposing of/
transferring memory cards’ in the previous section.

 When the number of recordable pictures exceeds 99,999, ‘+99999’ is displayed.
 A maximum of approx. 15 minutes of continuous motion picture can be recorded. (Even 
if there is more than 15 minutes of available space on the card, the available recording 
time will be calculated for a maximum of 15 minutes.)
 The time displayed on the left is the total time.
