Care of the camera
• Do not apply strong shock or vibration by dropping or knocking the camera. Also,
do not apply strong pressure to the camera.
– Waterproof performance may be impaired.
– The lens or the monitor may get damaged.
If the monitor should get damaged, take care to avoid injury caused by the fragments
of broken glass and other damaged components.
– It may cause malfunction in the performance or the function.
• After the camera is used underwater, speaker and microphone performance may
be temporarily degraded, so motion pictures may be recorded or played back with
weak audio.
– After underwater use, perform steps 1 through 4 in “Caring of the camera after using
it underwater” on P15.
∫When inner side of the viewfinder or monitor is fogged (condensation)
It is not a malfunction or failure of the camera. It may be caused by the
environment in which the camera is used.
What to do when inner side is fogged
• Turn off the camera and open the side door in a place with constant ambient
temperature, away from high temperatures, humidity, sand and dust. The fog will
disappear naturally in approximately 2 hours with the side door open when the
temperature of the camera gets close to the ambient temperature.
• Contact Panasonic if the fogging does not disappear.
Conditions in which inner side may be fogged
Condensation may occur and cause the inner side of the lens, viewfinder, and
monitor to fog up when the camera is used under conditions with drastic
temperature changes or high humidity levels, such as the following:
• When the camera is used underwater suddenly after being on a hot beach etc.
• When the camera is moved to a warm area from a cold area, such as at a ski
resort or at high altitude
• When the side door is opened in a high-humidity environment
Please be sure to read “(Important) About the Waterproof/Dustproof and
Anti-shock Performance of the Camera” (P11) before using this unit underwater
to prevent the unit from being mishandled, which may cause water to seep in.
If you shake the camera while it is turned off, a rattling sound will be heard. This
is the sound of the lens moving and not a malfunction.

Preparation/Basic
∫When using in a cold climate or at low temperatures
• The performance of the battery (number of recordable pictures/operating time) may
decrease temporarily when using in a temperature between j10 oC and 0 oC (14 oF and
32 oF) (cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude). (Charge the battery
sufficiently before use)
• The battery cannot be recharged in a temperature less than 0 oC (32 oF). (The charging
lamp blinks when the battery cannot be recharged.) Charge it sufficiently in a location
where the ambient temperature is between 10 oC and 30 oC (50 oF and 86 oF).
• When using the camera in cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude, do
not leave the camera with snow or water droplets sticking to it. Some parts of the
camera may become hard to move or the sound may become dim with snow or water
droplets freezing in narrow spaces, such as the gaps of the buttons, dial, speaker, and
microphone. This is not a malfunction.
• When the camera is used at cold temperatures, speaker and microphone
performance may be temporarily degraded, so motion pictures may be recorded
or played back with weak audio.
– Keep the camera warm by placing it in a warm place such as inside your cold
protection gear or clothes during use.
• The screens used in these operating instructions are examples provided to describe
operations.
• The product design and specifications described in these operating instructions may
differ from the actual product due to improvements.

(Important) About the Waterproof/
Dustproof and Anti-shock Performance
of the Camera
This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in
all conditions.
¢1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified
pressure in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic.
¢2 “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock” is the test method standard of the U.S.
Defense Department, which specifies performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm
(4 feet), at 26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of devices, and
passing the 26 orientation drops within 5 devices. (If failure occurs during the test, a
new set is used to pass the drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices)
Panasonic’s test method is based on the above “MIL-STD 810F Method
516.5-Shock”. However, the drop height was changed from 122 cm (4 feet) to
200 cm (6.6 feet) dropping onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plyboard. This drop test was
passed.
(Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or distortion of the part where
drop impact is applied.)
¢3 According to the test conditions specified by Panasonic.
Waterproof/Dustproof Performance
This camera’s waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the “IPX8” and
“IP6X” ratings. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described
in this document are strictly followed, this camera can operate
underwater, to a depth not exceeding 31 m (102 feet) for a time not
exceeding 60 minutes. (¢1)
Anti-shock Performance
This camera also complies with “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”.
The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 2 m (6.6 feet) onto
3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plywood. In most cases this camera should not
sustain any damage if dropped from a height not exceeding 2 m
(6.6 feet). (¢2)
Withstand Load Performance
This camera complies with 100 kgf / 220.5 lbf load tests. (¢3)
