Cautions for Use
_ AC adaptor
• If you use the AC adaptor near a radio
(especially when you are tuning in AM
stations), radio reception may be
disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m or
more away from radio.
• When the AC adaptor is in use, it may
generate whirring sounds. However,
this is normal.
• Keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor
clean at all times.
Put this SD Multi Camera near the
outlet to make it easy to reach for the
interrupting device (plug).
_ Charging error
When the charge lamp blinks approx. every
0.5 seconds (lighting approx. 0.25 seconds,
turning off approx. 0.25 seconds), it
suggests the following states.
• The ambient temperature or that of the
battery itself is too high or too low.
Charge the battery after warming the
temperature of periphery or battery
adequately.
• The SD Multi Camera, battery or AC
adaptor may be defective. Contact
your nearest Panasonic dealer.

_ Condensation
When using the camera outdoors during
very cold weather, dews can be formed
on the camera and the lens when you
return to a warm place.
If condensation takes place, the lens may
be fogged or the camera may not
properly operated. Take care not to
cause condensation and take the
appropriate countermeasures.
Causes of condensation
Differences in temperature and humidity
as shown below cause condensation.
• When this unit is brought into a warm
room from outdoors in the cold.
• When this unit is brought inside a car
from outside.
• When warming a cold room suddenly.
• When cool air from an air conditioner
is directly blowing on the unit.
• When the place is humid.
When condensation has taken place:
• Turn the power off and leave this unit in
this condition for about 1 hour. When
the camera become close to the
ambient temperature, the fog
disappears naturally.
• When you move this unit from a cold
place to a warm place, enclose the
camera in a plastic bag, wait until the
camera is warmed, and then take it out
of the bag.
