Cautions for Use

In the event of abnormal operation (e.g.
if the unit emits smoke or an unusual
smell), immediately stop operating the
unit and consult the Panasonic
Customer Care Centre on 132600.
ª Optimal Use of the Camera
Keep the camera away from
magnetized equipment (such as a
microwave oven, TV, cell phone,
video game equipment, etc.).
• If you use the camera on or near a TV,
pictures and sounds may be disturbed
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 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.
Others
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.
When you use the camera on a rainy
or snowy day or on a beach or similar
place, do not let grit, fine dust or
seawater get into the camera.
• Grit or dust may damage the camera
or card. (Care should be taken when
inserting and removing the card.)
• If seawater splashes 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
thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
When carrying this camera, take care
not to drop or hit it.
• The outer case may be destroyed by
the strong shock, and it may cause
malfunction of this camera.
• For storing or transporting the camera,
place it in a bag or case lined with soft
pads to prevent the coating on the
camera body from being worn.
