Charger

•If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio reception may be disturbed.

•Keep the charger 1 m or more away from radio.

•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.

Card

Do not leave the card where the temperature is high, where electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily generated or exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not bend or drop the card.

•The card may be damaged or the recorded content may be damaged or deleted.

•Put the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when storing or carrying the card.

•Do not allow dirt, dust or water to get into the terminals on the back of the card and do not touch the terminals with your fingers.

When not using the camera for a long period of time

•Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature: [Recommended

temperature:15 oC to 25 oC, Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]

•Always remove the battery and the card from the camera.

•If the battery is left inserted in the camera, it will discharge even if the camera is turned off. If the battery continues to be left in the camera, it will discharge excessively and may become unusable even if charged.

•When storing the battery for a long period of time, we recommend charging it once a year. Remove the battery from the camera and store it again after it has completely discharged.

•We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a closet or a cabinet.

About the picture data

•Recorded data may be damaged or lost if the camera breaks down due to inappropriate handling. Panasonic will not be liable for any damage suffered due to loss of recorded data.

About tripods

•When you use a tripod, make sure the tripod is stable when this unit is attached to it.

•You may not be able to remove the card or the battery when using a tripod.

•Make sure that the screw on the tripod is not at an angle when attaching or detaching the camera. You may damage the screw on the camera if you use excessive force when turning it. Also, the camera body and the rating label may be damaged or scratched if the camera is attached too tightly to the tripod.

•Read the operating instructions for the tripod carefully.
