About the Lens
You can use the supplied lens or a lens that
is compatible with the lens mount standard
for the “Four Thirds System (Four Thirds
Mount)” with this unit.
Select a lens that matches the scene being
recorded and your use of the pictures.
If you use a lens other than a dedicated
interchangeable lens, auto focus cannot be
activated and accurate metering is not
possible. Also, some functions will not work.
∫ “Four Thirds Mount”
This is the lens mount standard for the
“Four Thirds System”.
These are interchangeable lenses newly
developed specifically for the optical design
requirements of digital cameras.
∫
Using a lens other than the supplied lens
• Depending on the type of lens, you may
not be able to use some functions such as
contrast AF (P56), the direction detection
function (P33) and OIS mode (P94).
• The available flash range etc. differs
depending on the aperture value of the
lens you are using.
• Take some test pictures with the lens you
are using.
• The camera automatically switches to phase
difference AF [ ] (P57) if you use a lens
that does not support contrast AF (P56)
even if [LIVE VIEW AF] (P105) in the
[CUSTOM MENU] menu is set to [ ]
(P56). Check the following for compatible
lenses.

∫ Detaching a lens from the camera
body
• Check that the camera is turned off.
1 Attach the lens cap.
2 Press the lens release button D
while turning the lens as far as
possible in the direction of the
arrow to detach it.
• Always attach the body cap to the
camera body so that dirt or dust does
not get inside.
• Attach the lens rear cap so that the lens
contact point does not get scratched.
• Change lenses where there is not a lot of
dirt or dust.
• When you turn the camera off or carry the
camera, attach the lens cap to protect the
surface of the lens.
• Detach the lens cap before taking
pictures.
• Be careful not to lose the lens cap, the
lens rear cap and the body cap.
Attaching the Lens
Hood
In bright sunlight or backlight, the lens hood
will minimise lens flare and ghosting. The
lens hood cuts off excess lighting and
improves the picture quality.
• Check that the camera is turned off.
• Close the flash.
Insert the lens hood on the lens
with the short sides at the top and
bottom and then turn it in the
direction of the arrow until it
clicks.

∫ Temporarily storing the lens hood
1 Turn the lens hood in the
direction of the arrow to detach it.
2 Reverse the lens hood and then
attach it in the same way as
shown previously.
• Attach the lens cap.
• When temporarily storing the lens
hood, check that it is firmly attached
and that it does not appear in the
picture.
• Hold the short sides of the lens hood
when attaching or detaching it.
• When taking pictures with the flash with
the lens hood attached, the lower portion
of the screen may turn dark (vignetting
effect) and the control of the flash may be
disabled because the photo flash may be
obscured by the lens hood. We
recommend detaching the lens hood.
• When using the AF assist lamp in the
dark, detach the lens hood.
• For details on how to attach the MC
protector and the PL filter, refer to P124.
Attaching the Strap
1 Pass the strap through the strap
eyelet on the camera body.
A Eyepiece cap
• Attach the strap so that the side with
the eyepiece cap attached to it is near
the Viewfinder.
2 Pass the end of the strap through
the ring in the direction of the
arrow and then pass it through
the stopper.
3 Pass the end of the strap through
the hole on the other side of the
stopper.

4 Pull the other side of the strap
and then check that it will not
come out.
• Perform steps 1 to 4 and then attach
the other side of the strap.
• Be sure to follow the steps and attach the
strap correctly.
• Check that the strap is firmly attached to
the camera.
• Attach the strap so that the “L
UMIX” LOGO
is on the outside.
Attaching the Eyepiece
Cap
When taking pictures with your eye
removed from the Viewfinder, light may
enter the Viewfinder and affect the
exposure and focus.
Attach the eyepiece cap so that light does
not enter the Viewfinder and prevent
accurate exposure when taking pictures
with Live View (P52) or the Self-timer (P71)
and when using the remote shutter
(DMW-RSL1; optional) (P125).
∫ Attaching the eyepiece cap
1 Slide the eye cup from the bottom to
detach it.
2 Slide the eyepiece cap from the top.
• The eyepiece cap is attached to the
strap.
∫ Attaching the eye cup
Slide the eye cup from the top.
• Be careful not to lose the eye cup.
• Consult the dealer if you lose the eye cup
(VYQ4130).
• Keep the eyepiece cap out of reach of
children to prevent swallowing.
• Keep the eye cup out of reach of children
to prevent swallowing.

detach it.
2 Slide the magnifier eye cup from the

3 Detach the battery after charging
is completed.
• Charging is completed when the
[CHARGE] indicator A turns off (after
about 140 minutes).
• Do not use any other AC cables except
the supplied one.
• After charging is completed, be sure to
disconnect the AC mains lead 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 number of recordable pictures
when using the LCD monitor (Live View)
(The conditions are the same as the
CIPA standard.)
Playback time
The number of recordable pictures and the
playback time will vary depending on the
operating conditions of the unit and the
storing conditions of the battery.
∫ Charging
Charging time and number of recordable
pictures with the optional battery pack
(DMW-BLA13E) are the same as above.
• The [CHARGE] indicator lights when
charging starts.
∫ When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes
• The battery is over discharged
(discharged excessively). In a while, the
[CHARGE] indicator will light up and
normal charging will start.
• The battery temperature is excessively
high or low. The charging time will be
longer than normal. Also, charging may
not be completed.
• 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.
∫ Charging conditions
• Charge the battery in a temperature
between 10 oC to 35 oC (The battery
temperature should also be the same.)
• The performance of the battery may
temporarily deteriorate and the operating
time may become shorter in low
temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/
snowboarding).
• 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.
Inserting/Removing
the Battery
• Check that the camera is turned off.
• Close the flash.
1 Slide the release lever in the

batteries (DMW-BLA13E).
• If you use other batteries, we cannot
guarantee the quality of this product.
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 120.]
Number of
recordable
pictures
Approx. 280 pictures
(Approx. 140 min)
