Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 Operating Instructions Manual page 222

Others
●
Always remove the battery and the card from the camera.
●
If the battery is left inserted in the camera, it will discharge even if the camera is turned off. If the
battery continues to be left in the camera, it will discharge excessively and may become unusable
even if charged.
●
Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags.
●
Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries in cool (15 °C
to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F)) places with low humidity (40%RH to 60%RH) and no major temperature
changes.
●
Charge battery once per year and use completely before storing again.
●
About the picture data
• Recorded data may be damaged or lost if the camera breaks down due to inappropriate handling.
Panasonic will not be liable for any damage suffered due to loss of recorded data.
• Pictures recorded or edited using this unit may not be played back properly or the selected effect
may not be reflected in these pictures when you use other devices. Similarly, pictures that were
recorded using other devices may not be played back properly or may not be able to use the
functions of this unit.
●
To prevent damage to cards and data
• Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and static electricity.
• Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts.
• Do not touch terminals on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet.
●
When disposing of/transferring memory cards
• If using the "format" or "delete" functions on your camera or computer, this only changes the file
management information, and does not completely delete the data from within the memory card.
When disposing of or transferring your memory cards, we recommend physically destroying the
memory card itself, or using commercially available computer data erasing software to completely
delete the data from the card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly.
●
Do not press hard on the LCD monitor. This may cause uneven display and damage the monitor.
●
In cold climates or other situations when the camera becomes cold, the LCD monitor or the
viewfinder may appear slightly darker than normal immediately after the camera is turned on.
Normal brightness will return once the internal components have warmed up.
The LCD monitor and viewfinder are made with extremely high precision technology. However
there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. This is not a
malfunction. The LCD monitor and viewfinder screens are controlled with extremely high precision
(greater than 99.99%), but some pixels (under 0.01%) may be inactive. The spots will not be
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.
