∫Using the AC adaptor (optional) and the DC coupler

(optional) instead of the battery

• Always use a genuine Panasonic DC coupler (DMW-DCC12: optional).

The digital camera can be used without worrying about exhaustion of

battery by connecting the AC adaptor and connect it to the outlet. To use

the AC adaptor, the DC coupler is required.

Note

• When the DC coupler is being mounted, the DC coupler cover opens, so the

structure ceases to be dust-proof and splash-proof. Be careful not to allow

sand, dust and water etc. to adhere to or enter the structure. After use,

check that there is no foreign matter attached to the coupler cover, and

close it firmly.

• Also read the operating instructions for the AC adaptor and DC coupler.

• Some optional accessories may not be available in some countries.
