Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera
Before using the camera
rBefore using the camera, always check if the built-in battery is not consumed, and then set the date/time.
The date of the internal clock of the camera resets to January 1, 2019 if the built-in battery is exhausted. This may result in the meta data of the clip not
being recorded correctly, and it may not display correctly in the thumbnail screen.
Connect the AC adaptor to the camera or mount a battery when recharging the built-in battery.
The date/time set on the camera is maintained for approximately four months when left in this state for approximately 24 hours.
(The built-in battery is charged even when the power switch is set to < j > (ON))
For details about setting the time zone and date/time, refer to [TIME ZONE] (page 16) and [CLOCK SETTING] (page 16).
rDo not use the unit in oily-smoky or dusty places.
Performance may be adversely affected if small particles or other foreign objects get inside the product.
Take extra care in environments where a special effect such as theatrical smoke is used.
rWhen using this product during rain or snow or when at the beach, be careful that water does not get inside the camera.
Water causes damage to the camera and memory card. (Repair may be impossible)
rKeep the camera away from devices that produce magnetism (TVs, TV games, etc.).
fDo not use the camera on top of a TV or around it. Image or audio of the camera may be distorted by the electromagnetic wave emitted from a TV.
fThe recorded content may be damaged or image may be distorted by a strong magnetic eld produced by speaker or large motor.
fDo not use the camera on top of a microcomputer or around it. Image or audio of the camera may be distorted by the electromagnetic wave emitted
from a microcomputer.
fThe camera may not operate properly due to a harmful effect from a device producing magnetism. In such case, turn off the camera and either remove
the battery or unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet. Then, mount the battery or connect the AC adaptor again. After that, turn on the camera.
rDo not use the camera near a radio transmitter or high-voltage device.
Using the camera recorder near a radio transmitter or high-voltage device may cause harmful effect to the recorded video or audio.
rTake care so sand and/or dust do not get inside the camera when using the camera at the beach, etc.
Sand and dust may damage the camera and memory card. (Be careful when inserting or removing the memory card)

fIt may take more time to charge or may not be able to charge when the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low.
fWhen the charging lamp continues to ash in orange, check if there is any debris, foreign object, or dirt attached to the terminal section of the battery
or the battery charger, and reconnect it correctly. Always disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before removing the debris, foreign object,
or dirt attached to the terminal section.
fThe charging lamp will ash in orange when the temperature of the battery is extremely high or low.
Then, charging will start automatically after the battery reaches chargeable temperature.
fIf the charging lamp continues to ash even when the battery is at its optimal temperature, the battery or battery charger may be damaged. Consult
the dealer.
fNoise may be generated in radio when the camera is used close to a radio (especially when receiving AM). Keep a distance of 1 m or more when
using.
fOscillating sound may generate inside the AC adaptor or the battery charger during the use, but this is not a malfunction.
fAlways disconnect the power plug from the power outlet after the use. (Power of approximately 0.1 W is consumed by the AC power itself if kept
connected)
fDo not get the terminal section of the AC adaptor, the battery charger, or the battery dirty. Install the device close to the power outlet so the
disconnection device (power plug) can be easily reached.
rMemory cards

Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera
rDisconnect the battery or disconnect the AC cable from the power outlet after the use.
rBattery characteristics
The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It produces electrical energy via an internal chemical reaction. This chemical reaction is effected by
the ambient temperature and humidity. The usable time of the battery becomes shorter when the temperature gets higher or lower. When used in an
environment with extremely low temperature, it can only be used for approximately ve minutes.
When the battery is in an extremely hot environment, its protective function will operate and the camera recorder cannot be used temporarily.

fPhysically destroy the memory card itself
fCompletely erase the data in the memory card using a commercially available data erasing software for PC, etc.
Users are responsible for managing the data stored in their memory card.
rLCD monitor and viewnder
fDo not continuously display the same image or text on the LCD monitor for a long period of time. The image may be burned on to the screen. It will
return to normal after leaving the camera recorder turned off for several hours.
fCondensation sometimes forms on the LCD panel of the LCD monitor in locations subject to extreme temperature differences. If this happens, wipe
with a soft, dry cloth.
fThe LCD monitor will be slightly darker than normal immediately after the power is turned on when the camera is very cold. It will return to its regular
brightness when the internal temperature increases.
fThe LCD monitor and viewnder (organic EL) are managed with high precision so that at least 99.99% of the dots are effective pixels and 0.01% or
less are invalid pixels and always lit. This is not a malfunction and it has no effect whatsoever on the recorded images.
fThe viewnder for this camera uses an organic EL. The image may burn into the screen if the same image or letters are left displayed on the screen
for a long time. There is no problem with the recorded images.
Switch the screen by turning off the screen or by using the eye sensor, etc.
fIt may become difcult to see or difcult to recognize the touch when a LCD protection sheet is afxed.
rCaution regarding laser beams
The MOS sensor may be damaged if the MOS sensor is subjected to light from a laser beam.
Take sufcient care to prevent laser beams from striking the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.
rNote the following points.
fIf you prepare to record important images, always shoot some advance test footage to verify that both pictures and sound are being recorded
normally.
fPanasonic will not assume liability when video or audio recording fails due to a malfunction of the camera or the memory card during the use.
fSet the calendar (datetime of the internal clock) and the time zone, or check the setting before recording. This will have an effect on the management
of the recorded contents.
