Cautions for Use

Optimal Use of the Camera

When carrying the camera, take care not to drop or cause impact to it.

The lens or the outer case may be destroyed by the strong shock, and it causes a malfunction of the camera.

Keep the camera away from magnetised equipment (such as a microwave oven, TV, video game equipment, etc.).

If you use the camera on or near a TV, pictures and sounds may be disrupted due to electromagnetic wave radiation.

Do not use the camera near a cell phone because doing so may cause noise to adversely affect the pictures and sounds.

Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.

Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a microprocessor may adversely affect the camera, causing the disturbance of pictures and sounds.

If the camera is affected by magnetically charged equipment and does not function properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5; optional) and then insert the battery or connect the AC adaptor again. Thereafter, turn the camera on.

Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.

If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, recorded pictures or sounds may be adversely affected.

Make sure to use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the cords and the cables supplied with them.

Do not extend the cords and the cables.

Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the camera.

If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the camera body may be damaged and the surface finish may peel off.

Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.

Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol for cleaning the camera.

Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5; optional) from the electrical outlet.

The camera body may be deformed and the surface finish may peel off.

Wipe the camera with a soft, dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent diluted with water and afterward finish wiping with a dry cloth.

If you use a chemical cloth, follow the instructions that come with the cloth.

In case rain or other sources of water splash onto the camera, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the camera body carefully. Then wipe it again with a dry cloth.
