1.  Before Use
Care of the camera
Do not subject to strong vibration, shock, or pressure.• The lens, monitor, or external case may be damaged if used in  the following conditions.
It may also malfunction or image may not be recorded if you:
– Drop or hit the camera.
– Press hard on the lens or the monitor.
∫ Splash Proof
Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of prote ction this camera offers 
against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust . Splash Proof does not 
guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with 
water.
In order to minimize the possibility of damage please be sure t he following precautions are 
taken:
– The Splash Proof feature works in conjunction with the lenses  that were specifically designed 
to support this feature.
– The camera is not designed to be Dust and Splash proof when th e USB connection cable or 
the cable holder is attached to it.
– Make sure that all doors, socket caps and terminal covers are  securely closed.
– Make sure that you are in a dry and secure place when changing the battery, lens or memory  card. After changing, make sure their protective doors are securely closed.
– If this camera is exposed to water, sand or any other foreign  material clean it as soon as 
possible, taking the necessary precautions that the foreign sub stance does not get inside the 
camera.
– Under no circumstances should you touch or place any foreign o bjects within the camera or 
in close proximity of the camera’s image sensor.
When using the camera in cold environments with temperatures be tween s10oC 
and 0 oC (14  oF and 32  oF):
– Attach a Panasonic interchangeable lens with a minimum recomme nded operating 
temperature of  s10 oC (14  oF) before use.
If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the  monitor, wipe them off with a 
dry soft cloth.
– Not doing so may cause the monitor to respond incorrectly to t ouch operations.
– If the monitor is closed when such liquids are present, malfun ction may result.
If you shake the camera while it is turned off, its sensors may  move or a rattling sound 
may be heard. The sound is caused by the In-Body Image Stabiliz er, and this is not a 
malfunction.
