 •Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.

 •Do not use any other cables except a genuine Panasonic HDMI mini cable (RP-

CDHM15/RP-CDHM30; optional).

affect the camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.

 •If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops 

functioning properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect
