About batteries that you can use with this unit
Supplied battery or dedicated optional batteries (DMW-BCF10E)

It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very
similar to the genuine product are made available to purchase in
some markets. Some of these battery packs are not adequately
protected with internal protection to meet the requirements of
appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these
battery packs may lead to
fi
re or explosion. Please be advised
that we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as
a result of use of a counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that
safe products are used we would recommend that a genuine
Panasonic battery pack is used.
