Charging the Battery

∫ About batteries that you can use with this unit
The battery that can be used with this unit is DMW-BLB13PP.
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the
genuine product are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of these
battery packs are not adequately protected with internal protection to meet the
requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these
battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are not
liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit
battery pack. To ensure that safe products are used we would recommend that a
genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.
• Use the dedicated charger and battery.
• The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used safely. The dedicated
battery (DMW-BLB13PP) supports this function. The only batteries suitable for use with this unit
are genuine Panasonic products and batteries manufactured by other companies and certified by
Panasonic. (Batteries which do not support this function cannot be used). Panasonic cannot in
any way guarantee the quality, performance or safety of batteries which have been manufactured
by other companies and are not genuine Panasonic products.
