is not a fault.

@To avoid jitter, use a tripod and place in a stable location.
(Especially when using telescopic zoom, lower shutter speeds, or self-timer)
@ Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic
equipment (such
as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
_,,Ifyou use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera
may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
_,,Donot use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise
adversely affecting the pictures and sound.
÷Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic
fields created by speakers or large motors.
÷Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect
the camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.
_,,Ifthe camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops
functioning properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC
adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor
and turn the camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio transmitters
or high-voltage lines.
_01fyou record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and
sound may be adversely affected.
@Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.
@ Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile substances (can

@Only use files from other devices if compatible with Design Rule for Camera File
system (Pictures are based on DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) and Exif
(Exchangeable Image File Format) standards, by Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association (JEITA)).
@ Disconnect battery/AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP, sold separately).
@ Do not use benzene, thinners, alcohol, kitchen detergent, or chemically treated cloth
(can cause surface damage or coating to peel).
@Wipe away dust or fingerprints with soft, dry cloth. Clear stubborn stains or rain/sea
water stains with a thoroughly wrung cloth, before wiping with a dry cloth.
@ Remove battery and card (ensure that battery is removed to prevent damage through
over-discharge).
@Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags.
@Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries

@To prevent damage to cards and data
_Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and static
electricity.
_Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts.
_Do not touch connectors on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet.
@When disposing of/transferring memory cards
If using the 'format' or 'delete' functions on your camera or computer, this only
changed the file management information, and does not completely delete the data
from within the memory card. When disposing of or transferring your memory cards,
we recommend physically destroying the memory card itself, or using commercially
available computer data erasing software to completely delete the data from the
card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly.
@Store battery in battery carrying case after use.
@Do not use if damaged or dented (especially connectors),
e.g. by dropping (can cause faults).
@The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance
with battery recycling laws. Call the RBRC hotline at 1-800822-8837 for information.
