∫Indemnity about recorded
content
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or edited content, and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any type of repair is made to the unit.
∫About Condensation (When the lens or the LCD monitor is
fogged up)
Condensation occurs when there is a change in temperature or humidity, such as when the unit is taken from outside or a cold room to a warm room. Please be careful, as it may cause the lens or LCD monitor to become soiled, moldy, or damaged.
When taking the unit to a place which has a different temperature, if the unit is accustomed to the room temperature of the destination for about one hour, condensation can be prevented. (When the difference in temperature is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the like, remove air from the bag, and seal the bag.) When condensation has occurred, remove the battery and/or the AC adapter and leave the unit like that for about one hour. When the unit becomes accustomed to the surrounding temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally.
∫About security
Be careful about the possibility of theft or loss of the unit, and be careful not to leave the unit unattended. Please note that Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for the compromise, manipulation, and loss of information caused by these events.
∫Caution regarding laser beams
The lens may suffer damage if struck by a laser beam. Make sure that laser beams do not strike the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.
