It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the 
genuine product are made available for purchase in some markets. Some of these 
battery packs are not adequately protected with internal protection to meet the 
requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these battery 
packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are not liable for any 
accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery pack. To 
ensure that safe products are used, we recommend that a genuine Panasonic battery 
pack is used.

cable (supplied), and insert the AC adaptor (supplied) into the power outlet.
(Charging from a computer)
Connect the computer and this camera with the USB connection cable 
(supplied).
•If the computer enters a suspended state while charging the battery, charging will stop.•Connecting this camera to a notebook computer that is not connected to a power outlet will cause 
the notebook computer battery to drain faster. Do not leave the camera connected for extended 
periods of time.
•Be sure to always connect the camera to a computer USB terminal.
Do not connect the camera to a monitor, keyboard or printer USB terminal, or a USB hub.

∫About the charging lamp
∫ Charging time
When using the AC adaptor (supplied)
•
The indicated charging time is for when the battery has been discharged completely.
The charging time may vary depending on how the battery has been used.
The charging time for the battery in hot/cold environments or a battery that has not been 
used for a long time may be longer than normal.
•When power is supplied from a computer, the power supply capacity of the computer 
determines the charging time. 
∫ Battery indication
The battery indication is displayed on the monitor.
•
The indication turns red and blinks if the remaining 
battery power is low. Recharge the battery or 
replace it with a fully charged battery.
Lit red: Charging.
Off: Charging has completed. (When charging is complete, disconnect the camera from the power 
outlet or computer.)
Blinking red: Charging error. (Refer to P168 for details.)
Charging time Approx. 210 min

Preparation
•Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug. 
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting 
heat generated.
•Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one or a genuine Panasonic USB 
connection cable (DMW-USBC1: optional).
•Do not use any other AC adaptors except the supplied one.
•Do not use a USB extension cable.•The AC adaptor (supplied) and USB connection cable (supplied) are for this camera only. Do not use 
them with other devices.
•Remove the battery after use.
(The battery will be exhausted if left for a long period of time after being charged.)
•The battery becomes warm after using and during and after charging. The camera also becomes 
warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
•The battery can be recharged even when it still has some power left, but it is not recommended that 
the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully charged.
(Since characteristic swelling may occur.)
•If a problem occurs in the power outlet, such as a power outage, charging may not be completed 
normally. If this happens, disconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and connect it again.
•When the charging lamp does not light even if you connect the camera to the AC adaptor (supplied) 
or a PC, check if they are connected correctly.
•If you reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) when the camera is fully charged, the 
charging lamp turns on for a while.

Preparation
∫Recording still pictures
Recording conditions by CIPA standard
•
CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].•Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 o F)/Humidity: 50%RH when monitor is on.
•Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card.•Using the supplied battery.•Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on.
(When the Optical Image Stabilizer function is set to [ON].)
•Recording once every 30 seconds  using full flash every second recording.•Changing the zoom magnification from Tele to  Wide or vice versa in every recording.
•Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery 
decreases.
The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time. As 
the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures 
decreases.
[For example, if you were to take one picture every two minutes, then the number of 
pictures would be reduced to approximately one-quarter of the number of pictures given 
above (based upon one picture taken every 30 seconds).]
∫Recording motion pictures
When [Rec Quality] is set to [FHD]
•
These times are for an ambient temperature of 23 oC (73.4  oF) and a humidity of 50%RH.
Please be aware that these times are approximate.
•Actual recordable time is the time available for recording when repeating actions such as turning this 
unit on and off, starting/st opping recording, zoom operation, etc.
•The maximum continuous recordable time of a motion picture is 29 minutes and 59 seconds, which 
is equivalent to a file size of approximately 4 GB. 
You can check the recordable time on the screen. (With [FHD], the file size becomes larger, causing 
the recordable time to become shorter than 29 minutes and 59 seconds)
Approximate operating time and number of recordable pictures
Number of recordable 
pictures Approx. 350 pictures
By CIPA standard in Program AE 
Mode
Recording time Approx. 210 min
 Recordable time Approx. 100 min
Actual recordable time Approx. 50 min 
						

							- 17 -
Preparation
∫Playback
•
The operating times and number of recordable pictures will differ according to the 
environment and the operating conditions.
For example, in the following cases, the operating times will shorten and the number of recordable 
pictures is reduced:
–In low-temperature environments, such as on ski slopes.
–When using [Monitor Luminance].–When operations such as flash and zoom are used repeatedly.•When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging the 
battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.
Playback time Approx. 240 min
