Preparation

Charging the Battery

∫About batteries that you can use with this unit

The battery that can be used with this unit is DMW-BCF10PP.

• Use the dedicated charger and battery.

• This unit has a function that can distinguish useable batteries. Exclusive batteries

(DMW-BCF10PP) are supported by this function. (Conventional batteries not supported

by this function cannot be used.)

• The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery before use.

• Charge the battery with the charger indoors.

• Charge the battery in a temperature between 10 oC to 35 oC (50 oF to 95 oF). (The battery

temperature should also be the same.)

It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the

genuine product are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of 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 would recommend that a

genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.

Attach the battery paying

attention to the direction of the

battery.

Connect the charger to the

electrical outlet.

• Charging starts when the [CHARGE]

indicator A lights green.

• Charging is complete when the

[CHARGE] indicator A turns off (after

approx. 130 min maximum).

Detach the battery after

charging is completed.

VQT2C70

Preparation

∫When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes

• The battery temperature is excessively high or low. The charging time will be longer than

normal. Also, charging may not be completed.

• The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry cloth.

Note

•

After charging is completed, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet.

• The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also

becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.

• The battery will be exhausted if left for a long period of time after being charged.

• The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not

recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully

charged. (The battery has characteristics that will reduce its operating duration and cause the

battery to swell up.)

• When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging

the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.

• Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.

Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the

resulting heat generated.

∫Battery indication

The battery indication is displayed on the LCD monitor.

[It does not appear when you use the camera with the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP;

optional) connected.]

• The indication turns red and blinks if the remaining battery power is exhausted. (The status

indicator blinks when the LCD monitor turns off.) Recharge the battery or replace it with a fully

charged battery.

∫The battery life

Recording conditions by CIPA standard

• CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].

• Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 oF)/Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on.¢

• Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (32 MB).

• Using the supplied battery.

• Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the Optical image stabilizer

function is set to [AUTO].)

•Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording.

• Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide or vice versa in every recording.

• Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery

decreases.

¢The number of recordable pictures decreases in Auto Power LCD mode, Power LCD mode

and High angle mode (P23).

The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time.

If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures

decreases. [e.g. When recording once every 2 minutes, the number of recordable

pictures decreases to about 90 (DMC-FS7/DMC-FS8)/100 (DMC-FS6).]

About the Battery (charging/number of recordable pictures)

Preparation

The number of recordable pictures and playback time will vary depending on the

operating conditions and storing condition of the battery.

∫Charging

Charging time and number of recordable pictures with the optional battery pack

(DMW-BCF10PP) are the same as above.

The charging time will vary slightly depending on the status of the battery and the

conditions in the charging environment.

When the charging has been completed successfully, the [CHARGE] indicator turns off.

Note

• The battery may swell and its operating time may become shorter as the number of times it is

charged increases. For long term battery use, we recommend you do not frequently charge the

battery before it is exhausted.

• The performance of the battery may temporarily deteriorate and the operating time may

become shorter in low temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/snowboarding).

Inserting and Removing the Card (optional)/the

Battery

• Check that this unit is turned off.

• We recommend using a Panasonic card.

Slide the release lever in the direction

of the arrow and open the card/battery

door.

Cautions for Use

Take care not to drop or knock the unit or put a lot of pressure on it.

• Take care not to knock or drop the bag/case that you inserted the camera in as the shock may

cause damage to the camera, lens or LCD monitor.

• Do not attach any other items to the hand strap that’s included with your camera. While being

stored, that item can rest against the LCD monitor and damage it.

• Do not use a paper bag as it can easily rip causing the camera to fall and be damaged.

• We strongly recommend you purchase a good camera bag/case from your local dealer to

protect your camera.

Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as

microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).

• If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may be

disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.

• Do not 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.

• If the 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.

• If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may

be adversely affected.

Always use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the

cords and the cables supplied with them.

Do not extend the cords or the cables.

Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.

• If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the

surface finish may peel off.

• Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.

Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC coupler (DMW-DCC4;

optional), or disconnect the power plug from the outlet. Then wipe the camera with

a dry soft cloth.

• When the camera is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet cloth,

and then with a dry cloth.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean the

camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the coating may peel off.

• When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.

• If the LCD monitor is dirty, blow away dust and foreign matter with a commercial blower brush.

If it is very dirty, gently rub with a soft cloth or an eyeglass cloth.

• Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the LCD

monitor and it may malfunction.

• Do not press on the LCD monitor with hard pointed tips, such as ball point pens.

• Do not scratch or press the LCD monitor too hard.

• If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor will be slightly darker

than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal

temperature of the camera increases.

• Do not press the lens with excessive force.

• Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it

to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.

Cleaning

About the LCD monitor

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen.

However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen.

This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective

pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be

recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.

The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power comes

from the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to

the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low,

the operating time of the battery will become shorter.

Always remove the battery after use.

• Store the removed battery in the battery case (supplied).

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the body

of the battery and the terminals are damaged.

• Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camera.

Bring charged spare batteries when going out.

• Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter in low temperature conditions

such as at a ski resort.

• When you travel, do not forget to bring the battery charger (supplied) so that you can charge

the battery in the country that you are traveling in.

Dispose of unusable battery.

• The battery has a limited life.

• Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.

• The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws. Call the

RBRC hotline at 1-800-822-8837 for information.

Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as

necklaces, hairpins etc.).

• This can cause short circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you touch a

battery.

• If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio reception may be disturbed.

• Keep the charger 1 m (3.28 feet) or more away from radios.

• The charger may generate whirring sounds when it is being used. This is not a malfunction.

• After use, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet. (A very

small amount of current is consumed if it is left connected.)

• Keep the terminals of the charger and battery clean.

Do not leave the card where the temperature is high, where electromagnetic waves

or static electricity are easily generated or exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not bend or drop the card.

• The card may be damaged or the recorded content may be damaged or deleted.

• Put the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when storing or carrying the

card.

• Do not allow dirt, dust or water to get into the terminals on the back of the card and do not touch

the terminals with your fingers.

Notice for when transferring to another party, or disposing of the memory card

• “Format” or “delete” using the camera or a PC will only modify the file management information,

and it will not erase the data in the memory card completely.

It is recommended to physically destroy the memory card or use the commercially available

computer data deletion software to completely erase the data in the memory card before

transferring to another party or disposing.

Management of data in the memory card is the responsibility of the user.

This warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and

DOES NOT COVER normal wear and tear or cosmetic damage. The warranty ALSO

DOES NOT COVER damages which occurred in shipment, or failures which are caused

by products not supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from accidents, misuse,

abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, set-up

adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls, improper maintenance, power line

surge, lightning damage, modification, or commercial use (such as in a hotel, office,

restaurant, or other business), rental use of the product, service by anyone other than a

EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF

MERCHANTABILITY, ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential

damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not

apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary

from state to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the warranty

period, you may contact your dealer or Service center. If the problem is not handled to

your satisfaction, then write to the warrantor’s Consumer Affairs Department at the

addresses listed for the warrantor.
