(Important) About the Waterproof/

Dustproof and Anti-shock Performance of

the Camera

•Please observe the following precautions, and avoid using this camera in any

situation where the camera is subject to high water pressure. 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

10 m (33 feet) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes.¢1

•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

(0.10 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

•Supplied accessories are not waterproof (excluding hand strap/silicon jacket).

¢1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for a specified time in

specified pressure in accordance with the handling method established by

Panasonic. This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or

waterproofing in all conditions.

¢2 This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all

conditions.

Observe the following precautions and avoid using under water pressure

exceeding the guaranteed performance, and in an environment with

excessive dust or sand.

Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result

of being hit or dropped etc.

If an impact to the camera occurs, it should be inspected (subject to a fee) by

a Panasonic Service Center to verify that the waterproofing is still effective.

Any malfunction caused by customer misuse, or mishandling will not be

covered by the warranty.

Note

•The picture can become whitish if there is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens.

When it is dirty, lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft and dry cloth.

∫Handling of the camera

•Do not leave the camera for a long period of time in places where temperature is

very low (ski resort etc.) or very high [above 40 oC (104 oF)], inside a car under

strong sunlight, close to a heater, on the beach, etc. Waterproof performance

may be degraded.

•The inside of this unit is not waterproof. Do not open or close the card/battery

door or terminal cover close to the water by the sea, a lake or river, or with wet

hands.

•Waterproof function of the camera is for sea water and fresh water only.

•Operation may not be possible when snow or water freezes on the zoom lever,

mode dial or camera [OFF/ON] button in cold places like ski resorts etc.

∫About the [PRECAUTIONS] demonstration display

•Please check beforehand to maintain the waterproof performance.

[PRECAUTIONS] is displayed when the power is turned

on for the first time after purchase, with the card/battery

door completely closed.

•The [PRECAUTIONS] screen will not display the next time

you turn on the power if you start the slide show by selecting

[YES], and then select [END] once it has completed. Select

[REPLAY] to see the slide show again.

Note

•It will automatically skip to the Clock setting screen if [NO] is selected before the

Slide Show starts.

•[PRECAUTIONS] is displayed every time the power is turned on if you exited the

slide show using a method other than selecting [END], such as turning off the

power while the slide show is playing.

•This can be also confirmed from [PRECAUTIONS] in the [SETUP] menu.

soak the unit in fresh water in a

shallow container for 10 minutes or

less.

•If you have attached the silicon jacket,

be sure to rinse the camera after

removing it.

•Leaving the camera with foreign objects or saline matter on it may cause

damage, discoloration, corrosion, unusual odour, or deterioration.

2Wipe off the water, and dry the

camera by standing it on a dry

cloth in a well ventilated shaded

area.

∫This unit incorporates a drain design

This unit incorporates a drain design, draining

water from gaps in the camera [OFF/ON]

button and zoom lever etc. As a result of this,

bubbles may come out when you soak the

unit in water, but it is not a malfunction.

Note

•Wipe off the water and dirt on the camera with a dry soft cloth.

•Do not leave the camera uncared for more than 60 minutes after using it

underwater. It may cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.

•After use at the seaside or under water, make sure that the card/battery door

and terminal cover are firmly closed and soak the unit in fresh water in a shallow

container for 10 minutes or less.

•If the zoom lever, mode dial, or camera [OFF/ON] button do not move smoothly,

it may be caused by an adhesion of foreign objects. Using the camera in such a

state may cause malfunctions, such as locking up, so wash off any foreign

objects by soaking the camera in fresh water. Confirm that the zoom lever, mode

dial, and camera [OFF/ON] button move smoothly after cleaning.

•After soaking or washing the unit, wipe off water drops with a dry soft cloth and

dry the unit in a shaded area which is well ventilated.

•Make sure that water is completely drained from the unit after soaking in water

by standing the unit on a dry cloth for a while.

•Do not dry the camera with hot air from a dryer or similar. Waterproof

performance will deteriorate due to possible deformation.

•Do not use chemicals such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, cleanser, or soap or

detergents.

•Example of water droplets around card/battery slot.

A: Water droplet

B:Battery

C:Card

•Water droplets may attach to the card or the battery when the card/battery door

is opened without fully drying the camera after it is used underwater or soaked in

fresh water. Be sure to wipe off the water with a soft dry cloth in such cases.

•Do not open or close the card/battery door and terminal cover with droplets of

water still on the camera. The water droplets may seep into the camera, causing

condensation or failure.

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.

•The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used

safely. The dedicated battery (DMW-BCF10PP) supports this function. The

only batteries suitable for use with this unit are genuine Panasonic

products and batteries manufactured by other companies and certified by

Panasonic. (Batteries which do not support this function cannot be used).

Panasonic cannot in any way guarantee the quality, performance or safety

of batteries which have been manufactured by other companies and are

not genuine Panasonic products.

∫Charging

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

before use.

•Charge the battery with the charger indoors.

•It is recommended to 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.

•Disconnect the charger from the

electrical socket and detach the battery
