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 LCD 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 LCD 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  
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or disconnect the power  
plug from the outlet.  
Do not press the LCD 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 or built-in memory (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).  
The data on the built-in memory or 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.

Notes on charging time  
When using the AC adaptor (supplied)  
Charging time  
Approx. 170 min  
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. If the temperature is too high  
or too low, the operating time of the battery will become shorter.  
The battery becomes warm after using and during and after charging. The  
camera also becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.  
Do not peel off or scratch the covering on the battery.  
Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of  
the power plug or near the batteries.  
Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature.  
(Recommended temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F), Recommended  
humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)  
Do not store the battery for a long time while fully charged. When storing the  
battery for a long period of time, we recommend charging it once a year. Remove  
the battery from the camera and store it again after it has completely discharged.  
If you try to recharge the battery when it is already fully charged, the charging  
lamp will light for approximately 15 seconds.  
When using the AC adaptor (supplied), observe the following points as improper  
connections may cause malfunctions.  
Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one or a  
genuine Panasonic USB connection cable (DMW-USBC1: optional).  
Do not use any other AC adaptors except the supplied one.  
Do not use the AC adaptor (supplied) or the USB connection cable (supplied)

Troubleshooting  
First, try out the following procedures.  
If the problem persists, performing [Reset] in the [Setup] menu may resolve  
the issue.  
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.  
The lower right portion of recorded pictures appears dark or the colour is unnatural.  
Your finger is blocking the flash.  
Make sure you are holding the camera correctly. (20)  
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED  
lighting fixture.  
This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This  
is not a malfunction.  
I would like to upload recorded pictures to a social networking service right after  
taking them. How can I do that?  
We recommend sending the pictures to your smartphone and uploading them from the  
smartphone.  
I am having a problem connecting to my Windows 8 PC. The user name and  
password are not recognised.  
Depending on the OS version, on Windows 8, for example, there are two types of user  
account (local account/Microsoft account). Be sure to use the user name and password  
for the local account. If you haven’t set up a local account, please create one.

The Wi-Fi connection is not recognising my PC.  
By default, the Wi-Fi connection uses the default workgroup name of “WORKGROUP”.  
If the name of the workgroup has been changed, it will not be recognised. Select [PC  
Connection] then [Change Workgroup Name] in the [Wi-Fi Setup] menu to change the  
workgroup name to match that of your PC.  
The GPS status indicator lights up while the camera is turned off.  
[GPS Setting] is [ON].  
Electromagnetic waves from the camera can affect instruments and meters. In airplane  
cabins (during takeoff and landing) or in other restricted areas, set [Airplane Mode] to  
[ON], and then turn off the camera.  
Positioning takes time.  
When using the camera for the first time or after not using it for a while, positioning may  
take several minutes.  
Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the  
GPS satellites change, it may take longer depending on the recording location and  
environment.  
Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the camera  
using the “GPS Assist Tool”.  
Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from  
the GPS satellites.  
The location name information is different from the recording location.  
Immediately after the camera is turned on or when the GPS icon is something other than  
[ ], the location name information that is recorded in the camera may vary significantly  
from the current position.  
When [  
] is displayed for the location name information, the information can be  
changed to a different candidate before starting to record. You can edit a place name or  
landmark name recorded in a picture.  
Please refer to “Operating Instructions for advanced features (PDF  
format)” for details.
