Cautions for Use

Optimal use of the camera

Take care not to drop or knock the unit or put a lot of pressure on it.

• Take care not to knock or drop the bag/case that you inserted the camera in as the

shock may cause damage to the camera, lens or LCD monitor.

• Do not attach any other items to the hand strap that’s included with your camera. While

being stored, that item can rest against the LCD monitor and damage it.

• Do not use a paper bag as it can easily rip causing the camera to fall and be damaged.

• We strongly recommend you purchase a good camera bag/case from your local dealer

to protect your camera.

Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as

microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).

• If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may

be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.

• Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely

affecting the pictures and sound.

• Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fi elds

created by speakers or large motors.

• Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the

camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.

• If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning

properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (DMW-

AC6PP: optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the

camera on.

Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.

• If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and

sound may be adversely affected.

Always use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the

cords and the cables supplied with them.

Do not extend the cords or the cables.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the camera.

• If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the camera body may be damaged and

the surface fi nish may peel off.

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

time.

Maintenance

Uninstall the battery or DC coupler (optional: P103) and wipe them with a soft, dry

cloth.

• When the camera becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Then wipe the

camera with a dry cloth.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol or kitchen detergent. This can

cause damage to the body of the camera and the surface may peel off.

• When using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions beforehand.

• When the LCD display becomes dirty, blow away dust and dirt with a commercially

available blower brush. When the dirt is heavy, wipe it with a soft cloth such as an

eyeglass cloth.
