Precaution for use

Always take some trial shots before actual shooting.

•When shooting important events (such as weddings), always take some trial shots and check that the sound and images have been recorded properly before actual shooting.

Be sure to check and set the calendar and time zone.

•These settings affect the control and playback sequence of the recorded contents. Before making a recording, set and check the calendar and time zone. (Page 28)

Panasonic makes no guarantees for your recordings.

•Please understand that Panasonic makes no guarantees for your recordings in cases where images and/ or sound were not recorded as you intended due to problems with the camera-recorder or SD/SDHC Memory Cards.

Respect copyrights

•Copyright laws forbid the use of video and audio material you have recorded for any purpose other than your own personal enjoyment. Remember that restrictions apply to the shooting of certain material even if it is intended for private use.

Caution regarding laser beams

•The MOS may be damaged if it is subjected to light from a laser beam.

When using the camera-recorder in locations where laser irradiation equipment is used, be careful not to allow the laser beam to shine directly on the lens.
