Notes on the disposal or transfer of memory
cards and storage devices
The format and delete functions on this unit or a PC will only
change the file management data and will leave the data on
the memory card or storage device intact. It is recommended
that cards or storage devices either be physically destroyed
or that commercially available software be used to completely
delete any data they contain. Management of data on memory
cards and storage devices is the sole responsibility of the us-
er.
LCD
• The pixels of the LCD monitor are controlled to obtain high
precision with 99.99 % of the effective pixels. This leaves
less than 0.01 % of pixels that may not light or may remain
on all the time. This is normal and will have no effect on the
images you shoot.
• There may be some unevenness on the screen depending
on the image displayed.
• Wiping or rubbing the LCD screen with a rough cloth may
damage it.
• A temporary afterimage (burn-in) may occur when the same
image or text is displayed for a long time, although it can be
recovered by turning the power off for several hours.
• LCD response and brightness vary with operating tempera-
ture.
• In a high-temperature and high-humidity location, the LCD
panel characteristics may change and result in uneven im-
age quality.
Notes on using the network function
Please note that Panasonic makes no guarantees regarding
damage resulting from incorrectly configuring the network
settings to use the network function. Furthermore, please also
note that Panasonic is not liable to pay compensation for any
