Panasonic will not provide compensation
even if damage is caused by faults with
camera or card.

LCD monitor characteristics
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD monitor
screen. However there may be some dark
or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the
screen. This is not a malfunction.
The LCD monitor screen has more than
99.99% effective pixels with a mere
0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
The spots will not be recorded on pictures
on the built-in memory or a card.
Unit temperature
The camera may become warm during
use. (Especially grip area, etc.)
This does not cause a problem with the
performance or quality of the camera.

To prevent damage and faults

Avoid shocks, vibration, and pressure
• Avoid exposing the camera to strong
vibration or shock; e.g. dropping or
hitting the camera, or sitting down with
the camera in your pocket.
(Attach strap to avoid dropping camera)
• Do not press the lens or the LCD monitor.
Do not get the camera wet or insert
foreign objects
• Do not expose the camera to water, rain, or seawater.
(If camera gets wet, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
Wring cloth thoroughly first if wet with seawater, etc)
• Avoid exposing lens and socket to dust
or sand, and do not allow liquids to leak
into gaps around buttons.
Avoid condensation caused by sudden
changes in temperature and humidity
• When moving between places of
different temperature or humidity, place
camera into a plastic bag and allow to
adjust to conditions before use.
• If the lens clouds up, turn off the camera
and leave for about two hours to allow
camera to adjust to conditions.
• If the LCD monitor clouds up, wipe with
a soft, dry cloth.

screws at an angle (may damage
