    cannot be deleted when the card’s Write-Protect switch is set to [LOCK].

    • It may take time to copy the picture data.
    • Only pictures recorded with a Panasonic digital camera (LUMIX) will be copied. (Even if the pictures were recorded with a Panasonic digital camera, you may not be able to 
    copy them if they were edited with a PC.)
    • Print settings on the original picture data will not be copied. Set the print settings again after 
    copying is finished.

    Cautions for Use
    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.
