Preparation

Note

Remove the battery after use. Store the removed battery in the battery case (supplied).

Do not remove the battery until the LCD monitor turns 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.

The battery will be exhausted if left for a long period of time after being charged.

Turn the camera off and wait for the “LUMIX” display on the LCD monitor to clear before removing the card or battery. (Otherwise, this unit may no longer operate normally and the card itself may be damaged or the recorded pictures may be lost.)

Using an AC adaptor (optional) and a DC coupler (optional) instead of the battery

Ensure that the AC adaptor (optional) and DC coupler (optional) are purchased as a set. Do not use if sold separately.

1 Open the card/battery door.

2 Insert the DC coupler, being careful of the direction.

3 Close the card/battery door.

Ensure that the card/battery door is closed.

4 Open the DC coupler cover A.

If it is difficult to open, push open the coupler cover

from the interior with the card/battery door in an open state.

5 Plug the AC adaptor into an electrical outlet.

 

 

6 Connect the AC adaptor B to the [DC IN] socket

 

 

C of the DC coupler.

D Align the marks, and insert.

 

 

• Ensure that only the AC adaptor and DC coupler for this

 

 

camera are used. Using any other equipment may

 

 

cause damage.

 

 

Note

Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (optional).

When using an AC adaptor, use the AC cable supplied with the AC adaptor.

Some tripods cannot be attached when the DC coupler is connected.

This unit cannot stand upright when the AC adaptor is connected. When operating it on a flat surface, we recommend placing it on a soft cloth.

Make sure to unplug the AC adaptor when you open the card/battery door.

If the AC adaptor and DC coupler are not necessary, then remove them from the digital camera. Also, please keep the DC coupler cover closed.

Also read the operating instructions for the AC adaptor and DC coupler.

We recommend you use a battery with sufficient battery power or the AC adaptor when recording motion pictures.

If while recording motion pictures using the AC adaptor and the power supply is cut off due to a power outage or if the AC adaptor is disconnected etc., the motion picture being recorded will not be recorded.
