Before use
mAIways take a test shot first
Before important events when you will use the camera (at weddings, for example),
always take a test shot to make sure that pictures and sound record correctly.
[] No compensation for missed shots
We cannot compensate for missed shots if technical problems with the camera or card
prevent recording.
[]CarefulNy observe copyright laws
Unauthorized use of recordings which contain works with copyright for purposes other
than personal use is prohibited under copyright law. Recording of certain material may
be restricted even for the purpose of personal use.
[]Also refer to "Usage cautions and notes" (_186)
®Please note that the actual contro(s and components, menu items, and other
information for your digital camera may differ from those in the illustrations and
screens provided in this manual When operation or other information is more or
less the same between models, DMC-ZS20 (s used as examples for the instructions

Before use
Your Panasonic Lumix digital still camera is GPS-equipped which can automatically
record the precise location coordinates of where the photo was taken. The specific
physical address of this location can easily be derived from this information.
If you upload such "geotagged" photos to the Internet, a social networking site or any
other electronic media, the precise location of where the photo was taken will remain
embedded in the photo and can be viewed by others.
Therefore, when taking digital still photos, care should be taken in determining whether
you wish to have the GPS feature enabled or disabled.
[] About the camera's location name information
Before using the camera, be sure to read "License Agreement for Place Name and Map
Data". (--_190)
[] When [GPS Setting] is [ON], the GPS function works even if the camera's power
is off.
• Electromagnetic waves from the camera can affect instruments and meters. During
takeoff and landing of airplanes or in other restricted areas, set [GPS Setting] to
[OFF] or set [Airplane Mode] to [ON], and then turn off the camera. (4129, 135)
• When [GPS Setting] is [ON] and [Airplane Mode] is [OFF], power will drain from the
battery even if the camera is turned OFE
[] Recording location information
• The names of recording locations and landmarks (such as buildings) are current as of
December 2011. These will not be updated.
• Depending on the country or area, limited location name and landmark information
may be available.
[] Positioning
• Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals
from the GPS satellites. (--_128)
• Even if GPS reception is good, it will take approx. 2 to 3 minutes to
successfully execute positioning under the following conditions: when
positioning is executed for the first time, or when positioning is executed after
the camera is turned off with the [GPS Setting] set to [OFF] or [Airplane Mode]
set to [ON], and then turned on again.
Positioning can be executed faster using GPS assist data. (-_141)
• Because the positions of the GPS satellites are constantly changing, depending on
the recording location and conditions, it may not be possible to position such satellites
accurately, or positioning discrepancy may occur.
[]When using in another country
• GPS may not work in China or in the border regions of countries neighboring China.
(Current as of December 2011 )
• Some countries or regions may regulate the use of GPS or related technology.
Because this camera has a GPS function, before taking it into another country, check
with the embassy or your travel agency whether there are any restrictions on bringing
cameras with a GPS function.

these battery packs 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 recommend
that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.

mNotes on charging time
When using the AC adaptor (supplied)
Approx. 260min I
• The charging time indicated above is the time required for charging in case when the
battery is completely used up. The time required for charging differs depending on
conditions of battery usage. Charging takes longer in cases when temperatures are
either high or low and when the battery has not been used for a long period of time.
• The time required for charging through the computer varies depending on the
specifications of the computer.
_Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one. Doing so may
cause malfunction of the camera.
_.Do not use a USB extension cable.
_The AC adaptor (supplied) and the USB connection cable (supplied) are dedicated
accessories of this camera. Do not use it for other devices.
_ If there is any trouble related to the electrical outlet (i.e. power failure), charging may
not complete properly. Disconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and reconnect
it to the camera.
_ If the charging lamp does not light or flash even when the camera is properly connected
to the AC adaptor (supplied) or your computer, charging has been put in pause status
because the temperature is not in the appropriate range for charging. This is not a
malfunction. Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and retry charging in
