Cautions for Use

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 wrist 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.
Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
•
If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may
be adversely affected.
Always use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the
cords and the cables supplied with them.
Do not extend the cords or the cables.
Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.
•
If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the
surface finish may peel off.

Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or disconnect the power plug from
the outlet. Then wipe the camera with a dry soft cloth.
• When the camera is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet
cloth, and then with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean
the camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the coating may peel off.
