Usage cautions and notes (Continued)

Memory cards

To prevent damage to cards and data

• Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and static electricity.

• Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts.

• Do not touch connectors on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet. When disposing of/transferring memory cards

If using the ‘format’ or ‘delete’ functions on your camera or computer, this only changes the file management information, and does not completely delete the data from within the memory card. When disposing of or transferring your memory cards, we recommend physically destroying the memory card itself, or using commercially available computer data erasing software to completely delete the data from the card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly.

LCD Monitor

Do not press hard on the LCD monitor. This may cause uneven display and damage the monitor.

In cold climates or other situations when the camera becomes cold, the LCD monitor may be slightly less responsive than normal immediately after startup. Normal brightness will return once the internal components have warmed up.

Personal Information

If names or birthdays are set in [BABY] Mode or in the [FACE RECOG.] function, personal information will be included in the camera and the pictures that have been taken. Disclaimer

• Data containing personal information can be altered or lost due to malfunction, static electricity, accidents, breakdowns, repairs, or other operations.

Panasonic will not be liable for any damage that occurs, direct or indirect, as a result of the alteration or loss of data containing personal information.

When ordering repairs or transferring/disposing of the camera

To protect your personal information, please reset the settings. (→26)

If any pictures are contained in the built-in memory, copy (→137) them to a memory card if necessary, and then format (→28) the built-in memory.

Remove the memory card from the camera.

When ordering repairs, the built-in memory and other settings may be returned to the initial purchase state.

If the above operations cannot be performed because of a camera malfunction, consult with the dealer or nearest Service Center.

When transferring or disposing of your memory card, see ‘When disposing of/transferring memory cards’ in the previous section.
