Preparations Preparations

Before use

■ Camera handling

● Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.

● The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.

Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where water can come

into contact with the camera.

● Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile substances (can cause

surface damage or coating to peel).

■ Condensation (When the lens, the monitor or the viewfinder is

fogged up)

● Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes of temperature

or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens, the monitor or the viewfinder

dirty, cause mould, or damage the camera.

● If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours before using it.

Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature, the fogging will clear naturally.

■ Caring for your camera

● To clean your camera, remove the battery, the DC coupler (DMW-DCC11: optional) or a

card, or disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

● Do not press the monitor with excessive force.

● Do not press the lens with excessive force.

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

● 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.

● Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from the sun may

cause it to malfunction.

● Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.

● While the camera is accessing the card (for an operation such as picture writing, reading,

deleting, or formatting), do not turn off the camera or remove the battery, card, AC adaptor

(supplied)/AC adaptor (DMW-AC10E: optional) or DC coupler (DMW-DCC11: optional).

● The data on the card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic waves, static

electricity or breakdown of the camera or the card. We recommend storing important data

on a PC etc.

● Do not format the card on your PC or other equipment. Format it on the camera only to

ensure proper operation.

Q&A Troubleshooting

• Performing [Reset] in the [Setup] menu may resolve the issue.

• Further information is provided in the “Operating Instructions for advanced

features (PDF format)”. Check it together with the information in this section.

The charging lamp blinks.

• Charging is being performed in a place with extremely high or low temperature.

→ Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and retry charging in a place where

ambient temperature is 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) (temperature conditions also

apply to the battery itself).

• Charging is not possible if the power supply capacity of the computer is low.

This unit is turned off automatically.

• [Economy] is activated.

• The linked operation of VIERA Link (HDMI) is enabled.

→ If you are not using VIERA Link (HDMI), set [VIERA Link] to [OFF].

Sometimes focus adjustment with auto focus mode is difficult while

recording 4K motion pictures.

• This may occur when taking a picture by reducing the auto focus speed in order to adjust the

focus at high precision. This is not a malfunction.

The monitor display momentarily turns off.

• When the monitor display automatically switches between finder and monitor (→20), the

action of the eye sensor causes automatic switching of the display to the finder if the finder

gets close to the user’s eye or an object.

It cannot connect to the wireless LAN. Radio waves get disconnected.

Wireless access point is not displayed.

General tips for using a Wi-Fi connection

• Use within the communication range of the wireless LAN network.

• If any device, such as microwave oven, cordless phone, etc., that uses 2.4 GHz frequency

are used nearby this unit simultaneously, radio waves may get interrupted.

→ Use them sufficiently away from the device.

• When the battery indicator is flashing red, the connection with other equipment may not

start or the connection may be disrupted. (A message such as [Communication error] is

displayed.)

• When this unit is placed on a metal table or shelf, the connection may not be established

easily because the camera is affected by radio waves. Use the camera away from metal

surfaces.

About a wireless access point

• Check if the wireless access point to connect is in operating state.

• The camera may not display or connect to a wireless access point depending on the radio

wave condition.

→ Perform the connection closer to the wireless access point.

→ Remove the obstacles between this unit and the wireless access point.

→ Change the direction of this unit.

→ Move the location or change the angle of the wireless access point.

→ Perform the [Manual Input].

• It may not display even if the radio waves exist depending on the setting of the wireless

access point.

• If the network SSID of the wireless access point is set not to broadcast, it may not be

detected.

→ Enter and set the network SSID. Alternatively, set the network SSID of the wireless access

point to broadcast.

• Connection types and security setting methods are different depending on the wireless

access point.

→ Refer to the operating instructions of the wireless access point.

• When the 5 GHz/2.4 GHz switchable wireless access point is connected to other equipment

using the 5 GHz band, it cannot be used simultaneously with this camera if it is not

compatible.

→ The use of a wireless access point that can use 5 GHz/2.4 GHz simultaneously is

recommended.
