Supplied Accessories; Names And Functions Of Components; Attaching/Detaching The Lens - Panasonic H-Es12060 Owner's Manual

– When detaching the lens from the digital camera, take
care to ensure that sand, dust, splashes of water etc.,
do not get into the lens or the terminals.
– This lens is not waterproof and cannot be used to record
underwater. For splash-proofing, the lens is constructed to
resist the entry of water. If splashes of water etc. do adhere
to the lens, wipe after use with a soft dry cloth.
• To improve the dust-proofing and splash-proofing of this lens, a
lens mount rubber is used in the mounting portion. After changing
the lens a number of times, you may find that the lens mount
rubber has marked the mount portion of the digital camera body,
which does not affect its performance. For information on changing
the lens mount rubber, contact your nearest Service Center.
• Do not press the lens with excessive force.
• When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface
of the lens, the picture may be affected. Lightly wipe the surface
of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures.
• To prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on or entering
the lens, attach the lens rear cap when the lens is not in use.
• To protect the lens contact points 1, do not place the
lens with its mount surface facing down. In addition, do
not allow the lens contact points to become dirty.

About Condensation (Fogging of the Lens)
• Condensation occurs when there are differences in
temperature and humidity as described below. Condensation
can cause the lens to become dirty and lead to mold and
malfunctioning, so exercise caution in the following situations:
– When the camera is brought indoors from outside
during cold weather
– When the camera is brought into an air-conditioned car
– When cold air from an air conditioner is directly blown
onto the lens
– In humid places
• If condensation occurs, turn the power off and leave it for about
two hours. Once the camera acclimatizes to the surrounding
temperature the condensation will go away naturally.

Note
• When recording on the wide-angle side and using the
flash, the periphery of the screen may darken. In such
cases, we recommend using the external flash.
• If you zoom after focusing, focusing errors may occur.
After zooming, please perform the focusing again.
• In very quiet situations Auto Focus operating sounds
may be recorded during motion picture recording. This is
not a malfunction. In such situations, switching to
Manual Focus will improve the situation.
• If you set the O.I.S. to [ON] when recording a motion
picture, operating sounds may be recorded. If they
become bothersome, we recommend setting the O.I.S.
switch to [OFF] and mounting the camera on a tripod.
