Inserting/Removing
the Battery
•Check that the camera is turned off and
that the lens is retracted.
1Slide the release lever in the
direction of the arrow and open
the card/battery door.
•Always use genuine Panasonic
batteries (CGA-S005A).
2Insert:
Insert the charged battery fully
being careful about the direction
you insert it.
Remove:
Slide the lock to remove the
battery.
3Close the card/battery door.
Slide the release lever in the
direction of the arrow.
•Remove the battery after use. Store the
removed battery in the battery carrying
case (supplied).
•When a fully charged battery has been
inserted for more than 24 hours, the clock
setting is stored (in the camera) for at
least 3 months even if the battery is
removed. (If you insert a battery that is not
sufficiently charged, the length of time that
the clock setting is stored may become
less.) However, the clock setting is
canceled after this length of time. In this
case, set the clock again. (P17)
•Do not remove the card or the battery
while the card is being accessed. The
data may be damaged. (P16)
•Do not remove the battery until the
LCD monitor and the status indicator
(green) turn off as the settings on the
camera may not be stored properly.
•The supplied battery is designed only
for the camera. Do not use it with any
other equipment.
