Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn this unit on. Do not use this unit near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines. ••If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and/ or 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 cause surface damage or coating to peel). ●●Keep credit cards and other items sensitive to magnetism away from the magnetic portion of the camera. Otherwise, magnetic fields may damage their data and make them unusable. Magnet ●●Never leave the camera and the battery in a car or on a car hood in the summer. Doing so may cause leakage of the battery electrolyte, overheating, fire or a battery explosion due to the high temperature. 294 DVQP1285 Others Usage cautions and notes Caring for your camera To clean your camera, remove the battery, the DC coupler (optional) or a card, or disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth. ●●Use a damp cloth to remove stubborn stains, before wiping with a dry cloth. ●●Do not use benzine, thinners, alcohol, or kitchen detergent, as these may damage the outer casing and finish of the camera. ●●If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the supplied instructions carefully. ●●Do not touch the lens barrier. Lens barrier When not using for a while ●●Turn off the camera before removing 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 in cool (15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F)) places with low humidity (40%RH to 60%RH) and no major temperature changes. ●●Charge battery once per year and use completely before storing again. ●●Check all the parts before taking pictures when you have not used the camera for a long period of time. Monitor/viewfinder ●●Do not press hard on the monitor. This may cause uneven display and damage the monitor. ●●In cold climates or other situations when the camera becomes cold, the monitor or the viewfinder may appear slightly darker than normal immediately after the camera is turned on. Normal brightness will return once the internal components have warmed up. The monitor and viewfinder are made with extremely high precision technology. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The monitor and viewfinder screens are controlled with extremely high precision, but some pixels may be inactive. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on a card. 295 DVQP1285 Others Usage cautions and notes Lens ●●Do not press the lens with excessive force. ●●Images may appear slightly white if lens is dirty (fingerprints, etc.). Turn the camera on, hold the extracted lens barrel with your fingers, and gently wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry cloth. ●●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. ●●Do not touch the lens barrier, as this may damage the lens. Be careful when removing camera from bag, etc. Battery The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery is easily affected by temperature and humidity, and is affected more when the temperature is high or low. ●●Remove battery from camera after use. ••Keep the battery in a plastic bag, making sure that it is kept away from metallic objects (such as clips) when carrying or storing it. ●●The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery usage. Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery has not been used in some time. ●●Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter. ●●Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged. ●●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. ●●Frequently charging up battery is not recommended. (Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause battery to expand.) ●●If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan. Please purchase a new battery. ●●When charging: ••Wipe dirt from the battery terminal with a dry cloth. ••Keep at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from AM radio (may cause radio interference). ●●Do not use a damaged or dented battery (especially connectors), e.g. by dropping (can cause faults). 296 DVQP1285 Others Usage cautions and notes AC adaptor (supplied) ●●Keep at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from AM radio (may cause radio interference). ●●The AC adaptor (supplied) 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.) Memory cards ●●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. ••Put the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when storing or carrying the card. ••Do not touch terminals on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet. ●●Recorded data may be damaged or lost if the camera breaks down due to inappropriate handling. Panasonic will not be liable for any damage caused due to loss of recorded data. ●●When disposing of/transferring memory cards ••If using the “format” or “delete” functions on your camera or computer, this only changes 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 them, or using commercially available computer data erasing software to completely delete the data from the card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly. When using a tripod or unipod ●●Do not apply excessive force or tighten screws when they are crooked. (This may damage the camera, screw hole, or label.) ●●Ensure that the tripod is stable. (Refer to the tripod instructions.) ●●You may not be able to remove the card or the battery when using a tripod or unipod. 297 DVQP1285 Others Usage cautions and notes Personal Information To protect personal information, we recommend that you set a Wi-Fi password or a Wi-Fi function lock.
