Cautions for Use
DC-GH5SGN-DVQX1376_eng.book 3 ページ ２０１７年１２月４日 月曜日 午前９時４４分

4DVQX1376 (ENG)
• Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from the sun may
cause it to malfunction.
• Always use the supplied cords and cables.
• Do not extend the cords or the cables.
• During access (image writing, reading and deleting, formatting etc.), do not turn this unit
off, remove the battery, card or disconnect the AC adaptor. Furthermore, do not subject
the camera to vibration, impact or static electricity.
• The data on the card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic waves, static electricity or
breakdown of the camera or the card. We recommend storing important data on a PC etc.
• Do not format the card on your PC or other equipment. Format it on the camera only to ensure
proper operation.
• The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery before use.
• The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. If the temperature is too high or too
low, the operating time of the battery will become shorter.
• The battery becomes warm after using and during and after charging. The camera also
becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
• Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug or
near the batteries.
• 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%RH to 60%RH)
•Do not store the battery for a long time while fully 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.

Care of the camera
Do not subject to strong vibration, shock, or pressure.
• The lens, monitor, or external case may be damaged if used in the following conditions.
It may also malfunction or image may not be recorded if you:
– Drop or hit the camera.
– Press hard on the lens or the monitor.
∫Splash Proof
Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this camera offers
against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash Proof does not
guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with
water.
In order to minimise the possibility of damage please be sure the following precautions are
taken:
– The Splash Proof feature works in conjunction with the lenses that were specifically designed
to support this feature.
– The camera is not designed to be Dust and Splash proof when the USB connection cable or
the cable holder is attached to it.
– Make sure that all doors, socket caps and terminal covers are securely closed.
– Make sure that you are in a dry and secure place when changing the battery, lens or memory
card. After changing, make sure their protective doors are securely closed.
– If this camera is exposed to water, sand or any other foreign material clean it as soon as
possible, taking the necessary precautions that the foreign substance does not get inside the
camera.
If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the monitor, wipe them off with a
dry soft cloth.
– Not doing so may cause the monitor to respond incorrectly to touch operations.
– If the monitor is closed when such liquids are present, malfunction may result.
When using in cold temperatures (s10 oC to 0 oC (14 oF to 32 oF)):
– Attach a Panasonic interchangeable lens with a minimum recommended operating
temperature of s10 oC (14 oF) before use.
Do not place your hands inside the mount of the digital camera body. Since the
sensor unit is a precision apparatus, it may cause a malfunction or damage.
∫About Condensation (When the lens, the viewfinder or monitor is fogged up)
• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens, viewfinder and monitor stains, fungus and camera
malfunction.
• If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will
disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature.
