∫Indemnity about recorded content
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of
problems that result in loss of recording or edited content, and does not guarantee any content if
recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any
type of repair is made to the unit.
∫About Condensation (When the lens or the LCD monitor is fogged
up)
Condensation occurs when there is a change in temperature or humidity, such as when the unit is
taken from outside or a cold room to a warm room. Please be careful, as it may cause the lens or
LCD monitor to become soiled, moldy, or damaged.
When taking the unit to a place which has a different temperature, if the unit is accustomed to the
room temperature of the destination for about one hour, condensation can be prevented. (When the
difference in temperature is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the like, remove air from the
bag, and seal the bag.)
When condensation has occurred, remove the battery and/or the AC adapter and leave the unit like
that for about one hour. When the unit becomes accustomed to the surrounding temperature,
fogginess will disappear naturally.
∫Cards that you can use with this unit
SD Memory Card, SDHC Memory Card and SDXC Memory Card
≥4 GB or more Memory Cards that do not have the SDHC logo or 48 GB or more Memory Cards
that do not have the SDXC logo are not based on SD Memory Card Specifications.

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.
Removing the battery
Be sure to hold down the power button until the
status indicator goes off. Then remove the battery
while supporting the unit to prevent it from
dropping.

ADC input terminal
1Connect the DC cable to the AC adaptor and to the DC input terminal of this
unit.
≥Insert the plugs as far as they will go.
2Insert the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
≥The status indicator will flash red at an interval of approximately 2 seconds (approximately
1 second on, approximately 1 second off), indicating that charging has begun.
It will turn off when the charging is completed.
∫Connecting to the AC outlet
It is possible to use this unit with power supplied from the AC outlet by turning on the unit with the
AC adaptor connected.
Even when you use the AC adaptor for recording images, keep the battery connected.
This allows you to continue the recording even if a power failure occurs or the AC adaptor is
unplugged from the AC outlet by accident.
When this unit is purchased, the battery is not charged. Charge the battery fully before
using this unit for the first time.
