Cautions for Use

(Important) About the waterproof/dustproof and anti-shock performance
•
This camera has a waterproof/dustproof function equivalent to "IP58". It is possible to take
pictures in 3.0 m (10 feet) depth for 60 minutes.
¢1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified pressure
in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic. This does not guarantee
no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.
•
Supplied accessories are not waterproof.
•
The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 1.5 m (5 feet) onto 5 cm (16.4 feet) thick
plywood, which is compliant with "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock".
¢2 This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.
Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result of being hit or
dropped etc.
When an impact is applied to the camera, it is recommended to consult the dealer or your
nearest Service Centre, and perform a checkup (subject to a fee) to see if the
waterproofing has been retained properly.
Malfunction caused by exposure to water due to mishandling by the customer will not be
covered by the warranty.
For more detail, refer to "(Important) About the waterproof/dustproof and anti-shock
performance of the camera" (P10).
Take care not to drop or knock the unit or put a lot of pressure on it.
•
Take care not to knock or drop the bag/case that you inserted the camera in as the shock may
cause damage to the camera, lens or LCD monitor.
•
Do not attach any other items to the hand strap that's included with your camera. While being
stored, that item can rest against the LCD monitor and damage it.
•
Do not use a paper bag as it can easily rip causing the camera to fall and be damaged.
•
We strongly recommend you purchase a good camera bag/case from your local dealer to
protect your camera.
Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as
microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
•
If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may be
disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
•
Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely
affecting the pictures and sound.
•
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 microprocessors may adversely affect the
camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.
•
If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning
properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (DMW-AC5E;
optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the camera on.
