Panasonic DMC-LS85 Operating Instructions Manual page 85

Others
• Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the
LCD monitor and it may malfunction.
• Do not press the LCD monitor with a sharp and hard tip such as the one of a ballpoint pen.
• Do not scrub or press the LCD monitor with excessive force.
• If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor 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 LCD monitor
screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on
the screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than
99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01 % of the pixels inactive or always lit. The
spots will not be recorded in pictures in the built-in memory or a card.
• 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.
Be sure to remove the batteries when you will not be using the camera for a long
period of time.
• If the temperature is too high or low, the terminals may rust causing a malfunction.
If you drop the batteries accidentally, check to see if the body of the batteries and
the terminals are damaged.
• Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camera.
Bring charged spare batteries when going out.
• Be aware that the operating time of the batteries becomes shorter in low temperature
conditions such as at a ski resort.
• Battery performance may vary greatly depending on the brand used and the storage life
and conditions of the batteries.
• Battery performance temporarily deteriorates in low temperature conditions [10°C (50 OF)
or less]. However, it recovers when the temperature returns to normal.
• Depending on the temperature and the conditions of use, the camera may not operate
properly and the batteries may become exhausted without warning because the battery
indication is not displayed correctly. This is not a malfunction.
• Exhausted batteries may recover some performance if left for a period of time. However,
they cannot be used for a long time. Be sure to replace them with new batteries.
Dispose of unusable batteries.
• Batteries have a limited life.
• Do not throw batteries into fire because they may cause an explosion.
• Unusable batteries should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws.
Call the RBRC hotline on 1-800-822-8837 for information.
Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins, etc.).
• This can cause short circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you
touch the batteries.
