About SDHC/SD memory card
	 •	 Before	
inserting	the	SDHC/SD	 memory	
card,  turn  off  the  power  of  this  product 
first.  Otherwise,  it  may  cause  malfunction 
or  damage  data  recorded  on  the  SDHC/ 
SD  memory  card.  Refer  to  page  20  for 
descriptions  of  how  to  insert/remove  an 
SDHC/SD memory card.
	 •	 When	 using	an	unformatted	 SDHC/SD	
memory  card,  format  it  using  this  camera. 
Recorded  data  on  the  SDHC/SD  memory 
card will be deleted when formatted.
    If  an  unformatted  SDHC/SD  memory  card 
or  an  SDHC/SD  memory  card  formatted 
with  other  devices  is  used,  this  product 
may  not  work  properly  or  performance 
deterioration  may  be  caused.  Refer  to  the 
Operating Instructions (PDF) for how to for -
mat a SDHC/SD memory card.

	 •	 When	some	SDHC/SD	 memory	cards	are	
used  with  this  product,  the  product  may 
not  work  properly  or  performance  deterio-
ration  may  be  caused.Use  the  SDHC/SD 
memory cards recommended in page 34.
Code label
The  code  labels  (accessory)  are  required  at 
inquiry  for  trouble.  Use  caution  not  to  lose 
these  labels.  It  is  recommended  to  paste  one 
of the labels onto the CD-ROM case.
About the MOS image sensor
	 •	 When	 continuously	 shooting	a	bright	 light	
source  such  as  a  spotlight,  the  color  filter 
of the MOS image sensor may have deteri-
orated  and  it  may  cause  discoloration. 
Even  when  changing  the  fixed  shooting 
direction  after  continuously  shooting  a 
spotlight  for  a  certain  period,  the  discolor -
ation may remain.
	 •	 When	 shooting	fast-moving	 subjects	or	
performing  panning/tilting  operations  by 
mounting  the  camera  on  the  pan/tilt  head, 
objects  crossing  the  shooting  area  may 
look to be bending askew.

Precautions for Installation
This camera is designed to be used 
indoors.
This camera is not operable outdoors.
Do not expose this camera to direct sunlight for 
hours  and  do  not  install  the  product  near  a 
heater  or  an  air  conditioner.  Otherwise,  it  may 
cause  deformation,  discoloration  and  malfunc-
tion.  Keep  this  camera  away  from  water  and 
moisture. 
Installation place
Do not place the unit in the following places:
	 •	 Locations	where	it	may	 get	wet	 from	 rain	
or water splash
	 •	 Locations	 where	a	chemical	 agent	is	used	
such as a swimming pool
	 •	 Locations	 subject	to	humidity,	 dust,	steam	
and oil smoke 
	 •	 Locations	 in	a	specific	 environment	 where	
a  solvent  or  a  flammable  atmosphere 
exists 
	 •	 Locations	 where	a	radiation,	 an	X-ray,	 a	
strong  radio  wave  or  a  strong  magnetic 
field is generated
	 •	 Locations	 where	corrosive	 gas	is	pro-
duced,  Locations  where  it  may  be  dam-
aged by briny air such as seashores
	 •	 Locations	 where	the	temperature	 is	not	
within –10 °C to +50 °C {14 °F to 122 °F}.
	 •	 Locations	 subject	to	vibrations	 (This	prod-
uct is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
	 •	 Locations	 subject	to	condensation	 as	the	
result of severe changes in temperature
Be sure to remove this product if it is not 
in use.
Shielded (STP) LAN cables must be used 
with this unit to ensure compliance with 
EMC standards. *
* PAL models only
     Before installation 
	 •	 The	
camera	mount	bracket	 described	 on	
page  23  shall  be  used  to  mount  the  cam-
era. 
	 •	 When	 this	camera	 and	camera	 mount	
bracket are mounted on a ceiling or a wall, 
use the screws described on page 23. The 
screws  to  be  used  are  not  provided. 
Prepare the screws according to the mate-
rial, structure, strength and other factors of 
the  mounting  area  and  the  total  weight  of 
objects to be mounted.
	 •	 Ensure	 that	the	mounting	 surface,	anchor	
and screws are sufficiently strong. 
	 •	 Do	 not	mount	 this	product	 on	a	plaster	
board  or  a  wooden  section  because  they 
are too weak. If this product is unavoidably 
mounted  on  such  a  section,  the  section 
shall be sufficiently reinforced. 
Screw tightening
	 •	 The	 screws	and	bolts	 must	 be	tightened	
with  an  appropriate  tightening  torque 
according  to  the  material  and  strength  of 
the installation area.
	 •	 Do	 not	use	 an	impact	 driver.	Use	of	an	
impact  driver  may  damage  the  screws  or 
cause tightening excessively.
	 •	 When	 a	screw	 is	tightened,	 make	the	
screw  at  a  right  angle  to  the  surface.  After 
tightening  the  screws  or  bolts,  perform 
visual check to ensure tightening is enough 
and there is no backlash.
Fall prevention measures 
When  the  external  safety  wire  is  connected, 
select a connection point resulting in that noth-
ing  will  hit  people  after  the  mount  bracket  is 
damaged.  The  wire  length  shall  be  adjusted  to 
remove slack. 
    
Panasonic assumes no responsibility for injuries or property damage resulting from fail-
ures arising out of improper installation or operation inconsistent with this documenta-
tion. 
						

							15
Angle adjustment
Be  sure  to  loosen  the  screw  of  this  product 
mount  bracket  when  the  camera  angle  is 
adjusted. If the camera angle is changed when 
the  screw  is  tight,  excessive  force  is  applied  to 
the  camera  mount  bracket  and  camera,  and 
accordingly  they  may  be  damaged.  Be  sure  to 
tighten  the  screw  securely  after  camera  angle 
adjustment.
Radio disturbance
When this product is used near TV/radio anten-
na, strong electric field or magnetic field (near a 
motor,  a  transformer  or  a  power  line),  images 
may be distorted and noise sound may be pro-
duced.
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Use  a  PoE  hub/device  that  is  compliant  with 
IEEE802.3af standard.
Router
When  connecting  this  product  to  the  Internet, 
use  a  broadband  router  with  the  port  forward-
ing function (NAT, IP masquerade).
Refer  to  the  Operating  Instructions  (PDF)  for 
further  information  about  the  port  forwarding 
function.
Time & date setting
It	is	 necessary	 to	set	 the	 time	 &	date	 before	
putting this product into operation. Refer to the 
"Operating  Instructions  (PDF)"  on  the  provided 
CD-ROM  for  descriptions  of  how  to  perform 
the settings.

Optional dedicated lens
  Product name  Model number
  ALC lens for 1/3 type CCD cameras  WV-LZA62/2
  2x vari-focal   (High resolution)
  * If a lens for 1/3  type video camera other than the above is mounted and the camera is used at 
resolution of  1280 x 720 or higher, the camera cannot achieve full performance of high resolu-
tion. It is recommended to use a dedicated high-resolution lens especially when the illuminance 
level of the photographic subject is low and the camera is used with the\
 lens iris open.
How to adjust the focus SP306
z  Before adjustment, reset the back focus position by holding down the auto back focus button 
for  5  seconds  or  more  when  the  power  is  on.  (This  operation  can  also  be  performed  on  the 
setup menu. Refer to the Operating Instructions (PDF).) 
x Adjust the view angle and focus coarsely by adjusting the zoom and focus of the lens to center 
a  subject  in  the  screen,  and  then  press  the  auto  back  focus  button  on  the  side  of  the  camera 
(☞ page 16) or perform the auto back focus function from the setup menu.
  Refer to the Operating Instructions (PDF) for how to perform the auto back focus function from

How to adjust the focus SP305SP302
The focus is adjusted using the focus assist function.
The angle of view and focus can be adjusted in accordance with the distance between the camera 
lens  and  a  photographic  subject.  These  adjustments  shall  be  performed  together  with  the  camera 
angle adjustment.
 
z  Loosen  the  zoom  lock  knob,  and  adjust  the  angle  of  view 
(angular field of view) in accordance with the photographic 
subject by moving the zoom lock knob and focus ring.
Note:
	 •	 The	 focus	may	not	be	adjusted	 appropriately	 when	the	
zoom  ring  is  positioned  at  the  "W"  (or  "T")  end.  In  this 
case,  adjust  the  focus  again  by  slightly  moving  the  zoom 
ring to the direction of "T" (or "W").
