• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly
prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording
cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not
possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully charged state or in high
temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will over-
discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
•
Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.
• The AC plug adapter D-PL135 is designed for exclusive use with the Power Adapter D-PA135. Do
not use it with other devices.
•
Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding vehicles, which
