Usage cautions and notes

When in use

Camera may become warm if used for long periods of time, but this is not a fault.

To avoid jitter, use a tripod and place in a stable location.

(Especially when using telescopic zoom, lower shutter speeds, or self-timer)

Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).

•If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.

•Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the pictures and sound.

•Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.

•Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.

•If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (DMW-AC5E; optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the camera on.

Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.

•If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may be adversely affected.

Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.

Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile substances (can cause surface damage or coating to peel).

Never leave the camera and the battery in a car or on a car bonnet in the summer.

It may cause leakage of the battery electrolyte, a generation of heat, and may cause a fire and the battery to burst due to the high temperature.

Caring for your camera

To clean your camera, remove the battery or disconnect AC mains lead, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

Use a well-wrung wet cloth to remove stubborn stains, before wiping again with a dry cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinners, alcohol, or kitchen detergent, as these may damage the outer casing and finish of the camera.

If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the supplied instructions carefully. Do not touch the lens barrier (P.11).

When not using for a while

Turn off camera power before removing battery and card (ensure that battery is removed to prevent damage through over-discharge).

Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags.

Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries in cool (15 °C-25 °C (59 °F-77 °F)) places with low humidity (40% - 60%) and no major temperature changes.

Charge battery once per year and use completely before storing again.

Memory cards

To prevent damage to cards and data

•Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and static electricity.

•Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts.

•Do not touch connectors on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet. When disposing of/transferring memory cards

•If using the ‘format’ or ‘delete’ functions on your camera or computer, this only changes the file management information, and does not completely delete the data from within the memory card. When disposing of or transferring your memory cards, we recommend physically destroying the memory card itself, or using commercially available computer data erasing software to completely delete the data from the card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly.
