Panasonic DMC-FZ4PP, DMC-FZ5PP manual

Before Use

∫If you will not be using the camera for a long time

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

15oC – 25oC (59oF – 77oF), Recommended humidity: 40% – 60%)

•Be sure to remove the battery and the card from the camera.

•When the battery is left inserted in the camera for a long time, discharge takes place even if the camera is turned off. If you leave the battery inserted for an extended period of time, it will be excessively discharged and it may become unusable even after it is charged.

•To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend charging it once every year and storing it again after you completely use up the charged capacity.

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