SD Memory Card
 Before inserting an SD memory card, 
turn the camera off. If the SD memory 
card is inserted while the camera is still 
turned on, the SD memory card may 
not function properly, or the data 
recorded on the SD memory card may 
be damaged.
For details on how to insert and remove 
SD memory cards, see page 32. Format unformatted SD memory cards 
on this system before use. When an SD 
memory card is formatted, all content 
recorded on the card will be erased. If 
an unformatted SD memory card or an 
SD memory card formatted on a 
different system is used on this camera, 
the SD memory card may not function 
properly, or the cameras performance 
may be reduced.
 For details on how to format SD 
memory cards, refer to the Setup 
Manual.
 We recommend using SD memory 
cards whose operation has already 
been confirmed (→page 16). When an 
SD memory card other than one 
recommended by Panasonic is used, 
the SD memory card may not function 
properly, or the cameras performance 
may be reduced.
CCD Color Filter Burn-in
Intense light concentrated on one spot for a 
long period can cause deterioration of the 
CCD internal color filters, and discoloration 
of the affected part. Even if the position of a 
fixed camera is changed, the discoloration 
at the previous location of the concentrated 
light will remain on the screen. 
						

							Precaution (continued)
12
Do not point the camera at a strong light 
source.
 Intense light such as that produced by a 
spotlight concentrated on one part of 
the screen can cause blooming 
(rainbow around the strong light) or 
smearing (vertical stripes above and 
below the strong light).
Consumables
The item listed below is a consumable. 
Replace it using the service life values as 
guides. Note that actual service life is 
affected by the operating environment and 
conditions.
Cooling fan: Approx. 30,000 hoursDehumidifying Element
 This camera has a built-in dehumidify-
ing element to maintain a low-humidity 
state inside the camera. This prevents 
condensation from forming.
 Condensation forms due to tempera-
ture, humidity, weather and other 
conditions, and may take time to clear 
up.
 Do not block the surface of the 
dehumidifying element.

Functions 
When there is wide variation between the illumination of light and dark areas of the location 
being monitored, the camera adjusts the lens iris in accordance with the bright areas. This 
causes loss of detail in dark areas. Conversely, adjusting lens brightness for the dark areas 
causes brighter areas to become washed out.
SUPER-D 
III digitally combines an image that is set up for a clear view of bright areas with 
an image that is set up for a clear view of dark areas, creating a final image that preserves 
overall detail.
This function outputs an alarm signal when motion is detected in the monitoring area, such 
as the camera being covered with a cloth or its cover, or the cameras orientation being 
changed, during monitoring.
..............................................................................................................................Note
 The motion detector function is not exclusively for preventing theft, fire, etc. The 
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any accidents that occur or any losses 
incurred while this product is being used.

Jagged edges that are unique to interlaced cameras and that occur in areas with movement 
are corrected by the motion adaptive interlace/progressive conversion function and 
converted to progressive images. This allows both still and moving objects to be captured as 
well-defined images.
The privacy zone function allows you to mask specific areas, such as housing, of a 
monitored scene from view.
Back focus can be automatically adjusted by operating the buttons on the camera, which 
makes installation easier. Back focus can also be adjusted on the PC after the camera is 
installed.
When switching between color and black and white images, the back focus is automatically 
adjusted and focus deviation is corrected.
Camera images can be saved to an SD memory card when an alarm occurs.
Images can also be backed up when a network failure occurs.
..............................................................................................................................Note
 This operation has already been confirmed on the following SD memory cards:

Power can be supplied to the camera and images transmitted on a single LAN cable by 
connecting to PoE-compatible network devices. Special installation of a power supply for the 
camera and video cables is not required.
MPEG-4 and JPEG can be output at the same time.
MPEG-4 operation when monitoring in real time or from a remote site, and JPEG operation 
when recording and verifying images at high quality can both be achieved at the same time 
in a network environment.

About Static Electricity Removal
Before installing the camera, touch a metal 
case or other metallic parts with your hand 
to remove static electricity from your body.
Do not install in areas subjected to high 
amounts of humidity or dust.
Doing so may cause internal components 
to damage more easily or malfunction.
Do not wire cables near power lines.
Configure the power supply to the 
camera so that it can be turned on and 
off.
The camera does not have a power switch, 
so configure the power supply to the 
camera so that it can be turned on and off.
Network Connection
Pay attention to the following points when 
using the cameras network cable to 
connect to a network.
 Wire and install the camera so that the 
network will not be influenced by 
lightning surges, etc.
 Pan and tilt cannot be used in combina-
tion with this camera.
Tightening the Screws
Screws should be tightened sufficiently in 
accordance with the materials and 
structure of the installation location. After 
tightening the screws, visually inspect them 
to make sure there is no unevenness and 
that each screw is tight.Screws should be ordered separately.
The camera does not come with screws. 
Choose screws in accordance with the 
materials and structure of the installation 
location.
Electrical Wave Interference
The image may fluctuate near TV or radio 
transmission antennas, or near strong 
electric or magnetic fields (e.g. motors or 
transformers). In this case, setup a special-
ized thin conduit and pass the cable 
through it.
