    ∫ Indemnity about recorded 
    content
    Panasonic does not accept any responsibility 
    for damages directly or indirectly due to any 
    type of problems that result in loss of recording 
    or edited content, and does not guarantee any 
    content if recording or editing does not work 
    properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a 
    case where any type of repair is made to the 
    unit.
    ∫About Condensation (When 
    the lens or the LCD monitor is 
    fogged up)
    Condensation occurs when there is a change in 
    temperature or humidity, such as when the unit 
    is taken from outside or a cold room to a warm 
    room. Please be careful, as it may cause the 
    lens or LCD monitor to become soiled, moldy, 
    or damaged.
    When taking the unit to a place which has a 
    different temperature, if the unit is accustomed 
    to the room temperature of the destination for 
    about one hour, condensation can be 
    prevented. (When the difference in temperature 
    is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the 
    like, remove air from the bag, and seal the bag.)
    When condensation has occurred, remove the 
    battery and/or the AC adapter and leave the 
    unit like that for about one hour. When the unit 
    becomes accustomed to the surrounding 
    temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally.
