1. Introduction



Firmware of Your Camera/Lens

Firmware updates may be provided in order to improve camera capabilities or to add

functionality. For smoother recording, we recommend updating the firmware of the

camera/lens to the latest version.

0 For the latest information on the firmware or to download/

update the firmware, visit the following support website:

https://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/

(English only)

0 To check the firmware version of the camera/lens, attach the lens to

the camera and select [Firmware Version] in the [Setup] ([Others])

menu. You can also update the firmware in [Firmware Version]. (l 360)

0 This document provides explanations for camera firmware version 1.0.



Handling of the Camera

Do not subject the camera to strong vibration, impacts, or pressure.

These may cause a malfunction or damage.

– Do not drop or knock against hard surfaces.

– Do not push hard on the lens section or monitor.

If sand, dust, or liquid gets on the monitor, wipe it off with a dry soft

cloth.

– Touch operations may be incorrectly recognised.

When using in low temperatures (s10 oC to 0 oC (14 oF to 32 oF))

– Before use, attach a Panasonic lens with a minimum recommended operating

temperature of j10 oC (14 oF).

Before Use

1. Introduction

18

Do not place a hand inside the camera mount.

This may cause a failure or damage because the sensor is a precision

device.

If you shake the camera while turning the camera off, a sensor may

operate or a rattling sound may be heard. This is caused by the image

stabiliser mechanism in the body. It is not a malfunction.



Splash Resistant

Splash Resistant is a term used to describe an extra level of

protection this camera offers against exposure to a minimal amount

of moisture, water or dust. Splash Resistant does not guarantee that

damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact

with water.

In order to minimise the possibility of damage please be sure the

following precautions are taken:

– Splash Resistant works in conjunction with the lenses that were specifically

designed to support this feature.

– Securely close the doors, socket caps, contact points cover, etc.

– When the lens or cap is removed or a door is open, do not allow sand, dust, and

moisture to enter inside.

– If liquid gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry soft cloth.



Condensation (When the Lens, the Viewfinder or Monitor

is Fogged Up)

0 Condensation occurs when there are temperature or humidity differences. Be careful

because condensation can lead to stains or mould on the lens, viewfinder, and

monitor or cause a failure.

0 If condensation occurs, turn off the camera and leave it for approx. 2 hours. The fog

will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the

ambient temperature.



Be Sure to Perform Trial Recording in Advance

Perform trial recording in advance of an important event (wedding, etc.) to check that

recording can be performed normally.

1. Introduction

19



No Compensation Regarding Recording

Please note that compensation cannot be provided in the event that recording could

not be performed due to a problem with the camera or a card.



Be Careful with Regard to Copyrights

Under copyright law, you may not use the images and audio you have recorded for

other than personal enjoyment without the permission of the copyright holder.

Be careful because there are cases where restrictions apply to recording even for the

purpose of personal enjoyment.
