• When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using a tripod. If you cannot
use a tripod, be careful how you hold the

jittering caused by pressing the shutter
button when you are using a tripod (P38).
• Shutter speed will be slower particularly in
the following cases. Keep the camera still
from the moment the shutter button is
pressed until the picture appears on the

Others
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.
Cautions for Use
∫ Optimal use of the camera
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.
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 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.
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.
Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol
for cleaning the camera.
• Before cleaning the camera, remove the
battery or disconnect the AC adaptor
(DMW-AC5PP; optional) from the
electrical outlet.
• The body of the camera may be damaged
and the surface finish may peel off.
• Wipe the camera with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use kitchen detergent or a
chemically treated cloth.
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-AC5PP; optional). Then
reinsert the battery or reconnect AC
adaptor and turn the camera on.
∫ About the LCD monitor
• Do not press the LCD monitor with
excessive force. Uneven colors may
appear on the LCD monitor and it may
malfunction.
• 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.

Others
Bring charged spare batteries when
going out.
• Be aware that the operating time of the
battery becomes shorter in low
temperature conditions such as at a ski
resort.
• When you travel, do not forget to bring the
battery charger (supplied) so that you can
charge the battery in the country that you
are travelling in.
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 on
pictures on the built-in memory or a
card.
Dispose of unusable battery.
• The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire because
it may cause an explosion.
• The unusable battery should be discarded
in accordance with battery recycling laws.
Call the RBRC hotline at 1-800-822-8837
for information.
∫ 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.
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 a battery.
∫ Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Its ability to generate power
comes from the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity. If the
temperature is too high or too low, the
operating time of the battery will
become shorter.
∫ Charger
• If you use the battery charger near a
radio, the radio reception may be
disturbed.
• Keep the charger 1 m (3.28 feet) or more
away from radios.
• The charger may generate whirring
sounds when it is being used. This is not a
malfunction.
• After use, be sure to disconnect the power
supply device from the electrical outlet. (A
very small amount of current is consumed
if it is left connected.)
Always remove the battery after use.
Store the removed battery in the battery
carrying case (supplied).
• Keep the terminals of the charger and
battery clean.
∫ Card
Do not leave the card where the
temperature is high, where
electromagnetic waves or static
electricity are easily generated or
exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not bend or drop the card.
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the body of the battery
and the terminals are damaged.
• Inserting a damaged battery in the
camera will damage the camera.

carrying the card.
• Do not allow dirt, dust or water to get into
the terminals on the back of the card and
do not touch the terminals with your
fingers.
the screw on the camera if you use
excessive force when turning it. Also, the
camera body and the rating label may be
damaged or scratched if the camera is
attached too tightly to the tripod.
• Read the operating instructions for the
tripod carefully.
∫ When not using the camera for a long
period of time
• Store the battery in a cool and dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF),
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
• 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.
• When storing the battery for a long period
of time, we recommend charging it once a
year. Remove the battery from the camera
and store it again after it has completely
discharged.
• We recommend storing the camera with a
desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a
closet or a cabinet.
∫ 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.
∫ About tripods
• When you use a tripod, make sure the
tripod is stable when this unit is attached
to it.
• You may not be able to remove the card or
the battery when using a tripod.
• Make sure that the screw on the tripod is
not at an angle when attaching or
detaching the camera. You may damage

(P14)
∫ Playback
1: The picture being played back is
rotated and displayed in an
unexpected direction.
The camera has a function that
automatically rotates the display of
pictures recorded holding the camera
vertically. (If you take pictures when
aiming the camera up or down, the
camera may recognize that it is being
held vertically.)
• You can display the pictures without
being rotated when [ROTATE DISP.]
(P78) is set to [OFF].
• You can rotate pictures with the
[ROTATE] function. (P78)
For example, if the clock setting on the
camera is different from the date and
time set on the PC and you acquire
pictures recorded with the camera to
the PC and then write them back to the
card, the pictures may be displayed with
dates different from the actual recording
dates in calendar playback etc.
5: White round spots like soap bubbles
appear on the recorded picture.
• If you take a
picture with the
flash in a dark
place or
indoors, white
round spots
may appear on
the picture caused by the flash
reflecting of particles of dust in the air.
This is not a malfunction.
• A characteristic of this is that the
number of round spots and their
position differ in every picture.
2: The picture is not played back.
• Is the mode dial set to playback [

3: The folder number and the file
number are displayed as [—] and the
screen turns black.
• Is the picture edited with a PC or
recorded with a digital camera from
another manufacturer?
∫ TV, PC and printer
1: The picture does not appear on the
television.
• Is the camera connected to the TV
correctly?
• Set the TV input to external input mode.
This may also happen if the battery is
removed immediately after recording or
if recording with a exhausted battery.
– Format the data to delete the pictures
mentioned above. (P90) (Formatting
irretrievably deletes all data including
the other pictures. Check the data
carefully before formatting.)
2: The display areas on the TV screen
and the camera’s LCD monitor are
different.
Depending on the TV model, the area
display may be smaller so the picture
may be stretched horizontally or
vertically and the top and bottom or left
and right of the picture may be cut off
when it is displayed. This is due to the
TV specifications and is not a
malfunction.
4: The picture is displayed with a date
different from the actual recording
date in calendar playback.
• Was the picture edited with a PC or
recorded with a digital camera from
another manufacturer?
3: The motion pictures cannot be
played back on a TV.
