Cautions For Use; Specifications - Panasonic H-Fsa45200 Operating Instructions

Note
• When taking pictures with the flash with the lens hood
attached, the lower portion of the screen may turn dark
(vignetting effect) and the control of the flash may be
disabled because the photo flash may be obscured by
the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.

Cautions for Use

Take care not to drop or knock the lens. Also take care
not to put a lot of pressure on the lens.
• Take care not to drop the bag that you inserted the lens
in as it may strongly shock the lens. The camera may
stop operating normally and pictures may no longer be
recorded. Also, the lens may be damaged.
• When carrying the digital camera with the lens attached,
hold both the digital camera and the lens.
When using pesticides and other volatile substances
around the camera make sure that they do not get
onto the lens.
• If such substances get onto the lens they can damage
the exterior case or cause the paint to peel.
Do not point the lens at the sun or other strong light
sources.
• This could cause the lens to collect an excessive amount
of light, resulting in fire and malfunction.
• Under no circumstances should the unit be stored in any
of the following locations since doing so may cause
problems in operation or malfunctioning.
– In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer
– In locations with high temperatures and humidity
levels or where the changes in temperature and
humidity are acute
– In locations with high concentrations of sand, dust or dirt
– Where there is fire
– Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers
– Where water may make the unit wet
– Where there is vibration
– Inside a vehicle
• Refer also to the operating instructions of the digital
camera.
• When the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged
period, we recommend storing with a desiccant (silica
gel). Failure to do so may result in performance failure
caused by mold, etc. It is recommended that you check
the unit's operation prior to use.
• Do not leave the lens in contact with rubber or plastic
products for extended periods of time.
• Do not touch the lens contact point. Doing so can cause
failure of the unit.
• Do not disassemble or alter the unit.
Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other similar
cleaning agents to clean the lens glass or exterior cabinet.
• Using solvents can damage the lens or cause the paint
to peel.
• Wipe off any dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth.
• Use a dry, dust cloth to remove dirt and dust on the lens
mount rubber, zoom ring, or focus ring.
• Do not use a household detergent or a chemically
treated cloth.
Troubleshooting
A sound is heard when the camera is turned on or off.
• This is the sound of lens or aperture movement and is
not a malfunction.
