For care of the eye cup on the viewfinder
Do not press the monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the monitor and it
may malfunction.
If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the Monitor/Viewfinder will be slightly
darker than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal
temperature of the camera increases.
Do not press the lens with excessive force.
Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it
to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the s urface of the lens, the picture may
be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking
pictures.
Do not place the lens mount facing downwards. Do not allow the lens
mount contacts 1 to become dirty.
To improve the dust- and splash-proof performance, the mount of the
interchangeable lens (H-HS12035) is embedded with the lens mount
rubber. If you change the lens repeatedly, friction with the lens mount
rubber may leave scratches on the camera’s mount. However, those
scratches do not affect the performance of this unit. For the
replacement of the lens mount rubber, contact Panasonic.
If the eye cup becomes dirty, detach it from
the camera body, gently wipe off the dirt with
a soft, dry cloth, and then reattach it to the
camera body.
Be careful not to lose the eye cup.
Keep the eye cup out of reach of childre n to
prevent swallowing.
About the Monitor/Viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the Monitor/Viewfinder
screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the
screen. This is not a malfunction. Though the Monitor/Viewfinder screen parts are
produced with highly controlled precision technology, some pixels may be inactive or
always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on a card.
