Cleaning
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC coupler (optional), 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.
•
To wipe off the dust or dirt on the manual ring, use a dry, dust-free 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.
•
When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.

For care of the eye cup on the viewfinder
•
As the eye cup cannot be removed, gently wipe it with a dry and soft cloth, and be careful not to
remove it.
•
If you wipe the eye cup too hard and it is removed, consult the dealer or Panasonic.
About the Monitor/Viewfinder
•
Do not press the monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the monitor and it
may malfunction.
•
If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the Monitor/Viewfinder will be slightly
darker than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal
temperature of the camera increases.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the Monitor/
Viewfinder screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or
green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. Though the Monitor/Viewfinder
screen parts are produced with highly controlled precision technology, some
pixels may be inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures
on a card.
About the Lens
•
Do not press the lens with excessive force.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it
to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
•
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.
•
Retract the lens when carrying the camera.
