Cautions for Use
•This camera has a waterproof/dustproof function equivalent to IP68. It is possible to take 
pictures in 10 m (33 feet) depth for 60 minutes.¢1
¢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. This does not guarantee 
no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.
•Supplied accessories are not waterproof (excluding hand strap/silicon jacket).•The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 2 m (6.6 feet) onto 3 cm (0.10 feet) thick 
plywood, which is compliant with “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”.¢2
¢2 This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subj ect to an impact as a result of being hit or 
dropped etc.
•
When an impact is applied to the camera, it is recommended to consult the dealer or your 
nearest Service Centre, and perform a checkup (subject to a fee) to see if the waterproofing 
has been retained properly.
•Using the camera in environments where splashing  with hot spring water, oil or alcohol is likely 
to occur may cause the water/dust resistance and impact resistance of the camera to 
deteriorate.
•Malfunction caused by exposure to water due  to mishandling by the customer will not be 
covered by the warranty.
For more detail, refer to “(Important) About the waterproof/dustproof and anti-shock 
performance of the camera”  (P7).
•
It may cause injury to the skin if you directly touch the metal parts of the unit in places 
where temperature is very low [below 0 oC (32 oF) such as ski resorts,etc.] for a long 
period of time.
Use gloves or similar when using it for long periods.
•The performance of the battery (number of recordable pictures/operating time) may decrease 
temporarily when using in a temperature between  j10 oC to 0 oC (24 oF to 32 oF)  (at the cold 
climate such as ski resorts).
•The battery cannot be recharged in a temperature less than 0 oC (32 oF). (The [CHARGE] 
indicator blinks when the battery cannot be recharged.)
•If the camera gets cold in a cold environment etc., performance of the LCD monitor may 
temporarily drop immediately after turning the power on, such as the picture on the LCD 
monitor being slightly darker than usual or ghost images appearing. Keep the camera warm 
when using in a cold environment. The performance will resume to normal when the internal 
temperature rises.
•When using the camera in a cold place such as a ski resort, if the camera is left with snow or 
water drops still on it, the snow or water drops in-between the zoom lever, the mode dial, or the 
camera [OFF/ON] button may freeze, making it difficult for some parts of the camera to function 
properly. This is not a malfunction. When the camera returns to normal temperature it will 
function as normal.
•When using the camera at the cold climate, place the camera inside the protective gear or 
clothing to keep it warm when using 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.
•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 ba ttery or disconnect AC adaptor (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.
Always use the supplied cords and cables.  If you use optional accessories, use the 
cords and the cables supplied with them.
Do not extend the cords or the cables.
Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.
•
If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the 
surface finish may peel off.
•Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.
Operation at  j10 oC (24 oF) has been confirmed, but the zoom lever, mode dial, or 
power button may get frozen and hard to move, or the card/battery door and 
terminal cover may become hard to open when the temperature drops rapidly at 
cold places like ski resorts, so take caution.
•
When using the camera at the cold climate, place the camera inside the protective gear or 
clothing to keep it warm when using it.

About Condensation (When the lens is fogged up)
•Condensation occurs when the ambient temperat ure or humidity changes. Take extra care 
when taking pictures otherwise recorded pictures may be displayed with a whitish hue. Be 
careful of condensation that may be caused by the following conditions:
–When the camera is used underwater suddenly after being on hot beaches.–When the camera is moved to a warm area from a cold area, such as at a ski resort.–When the card/battery door or terminal cover is opened in a humid environment.•If condensation occurs, try the following things:–Turn the camera [OFF], and leave it for about 2 hours at the place with constant ambient 
temperature. The fog will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera gets close 
to the ambient temperature.
–If the fog does not disappear, it may help to open the card/battery door or terminal cover for 
about 2 hours, avoiding places with high tem perature and humidity. (Do not open or close 
around water)

About the LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is em ployed to produce the LCD monitor screen. 
However, there may be some dark or bright  spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. 
This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective 
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be 
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.

The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power comes 
from the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to 
the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low, 
the operating time of the battery will become shorter.
Always remove the battery after use.
•
Store the removed battery in the battery case (supplied).
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the 
body of the battery and the terminals are damaged.
•
Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the 
camera.
Bring charged spare batteries when going out.
•Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter in 
low temperature conditions such as at a ski resort.
•When you travel, do not forget to bring the battery charger (supplied) so that you can charge 
the battery in the country that you are travelling in.
Dispose of unusable battery.
•The battery has a limited life.•Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.
Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as 
necklaces, hairpins etc.).
•
This can cause short circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you touch a 
battery.
•If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio reception may be disturbed. •Keep the charger 1 m (3.28 feet) or more away from radios.•The charger may generate whirring sounds when it is being used. This is not a malfunction.•After use, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet. (A very 
small amount of current is consumed if it is left connected.)
•Keep the terminals of the charger and battery clean.
