Charger
• If you use the battery charger near a radio,
the radio reception may be disturbed.
• Keep the charger 1 m or more away from
radio.
• The charger may generate whirring sounds
when it is being used. This is not a
malfunction.
• After use, be sure to disconnect the power
supply device from the electrical outlet. (A
very small amount of current is consumed if
it is left connected.)
• Keep the terminals of the charger and
battery clean.

Card
Do not leave the card where the
temperature is high, where
electromagnetic waves or static electricity
are easily generated or exposed to direct
sunlight.
Do not bend or drop the card.
• The card may be damaged or the recorded
content may be damaged or deleted.
• Put the card in the card case or the storage
bag after use and when storing or carrying
the card.
• Do not allow dirt, dust or water to get into the
terminals on the back of the card and do not
touch the terminals with your fingers.

When not using the camera for a long
period of time
• Store the battery in a cool and dry place with
a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
15
o
C to 25
o
C,
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
• Always remove the battery and the card from
the camera.
• If the battery is left inserted in the camera, it
will discharge even if the camera is turned
off. If the battery continues to be left in the
camera, it will discharge excessively and
may become unusable even if charged.
• When storing the battery for a long period of
time, we recommend charging it once a year.
Remove the battery from the camera and
store it again after it has completely
discharged.
• We recommend storing the camera with a
desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a
closet or a cabinet.

About the picture data
• Recorded data may be damaged or lost if
the camera breaks down due to
inappropriate handling. Panasonic will not
be liable for any damage suffered due to loss
of recorded data.

About tripods
• When you use a tripod, make sure the tripod
is stable when this unit is attached to it.
• You may not be able to remove the card or
the battery when using a tripod.
• Make sure that the screw on the tripod is not
at an angle when attaching or detaching the
camera. You may damage the screw on the
camera if you use excessive force when
turning it. Also, the camera body and the
rating label may be damaged or scratched if
the camera is attached too tightly to the
tripod.
• Read the operating instructions for the tripod
carefully.
