∫Usable batteries

AA Oxyride batteries (supplied)¢

AA Alkaline batteries (optional)

AARechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries (optional)

¢The oxyride battery is a new type of non-rechargeable battery developed by Panasonic.

Oxyride batteries have higher power and more stability to handle the higher load on the batteries, compared to conventional alkaline batteries.

Oxyride batteries are specially designed to use with products as digital still cameras, that place more load on the batteries.

•It is necessary to select the type of batteries according to the batteries you use. Select the type of batteries in use on [BATTERY TYPE] in the [SETUP] menu (P24). The setting can be distinguished by the color of the battery indication (blue or white).

–The battery indication does not appear when you use the camera along with the AC adaptor (DMW-AC1; optional).

•We recommend that you use Panasonic batteries.

•The performance of the batteries may vary depending on brand or storage terms/condition of the batteries.

•The performance of the batteries may be temporarily deteriorated in low temperature conditions [50oF (10oC) or less]. However, the performance of the batteries is recovered when the batteries become close to the ambient temperature.

•Depending on the temperature or the conditions, the camera may not be operated properly or the battery indication may not be displayed correctly and the batteries may become empty without indication. However, this is not a malfunction.

•We recommend turning the camera off frequently while recording to maintain the power of the batteries for a long time. If you will be using the camera for a long time, using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries is more practical.

•The exhausted batteries may recover some performance when they are left for a period of time. However, they cannot be used for a long time. Be sure to replace with new batteries.
