About the Batteries
∫ Usable batteries
¢The oxyride battery is a new type of 
non-rechargeable battery developed by 
Panasonic.
Oxyride batteries have higher power and 
more stability to handle the higher load 
on the batteries, compared to 
conventional alkaline batteries.
Oxyride batteries are specially designed 
to use with products as digital still 
cameras, that place more load on the 
batteries.
• It is necessary to select the type of 
batteries according to the batteries you 
use. Select the type of batteries in use 
on [BATTERY TYPE] in the [SETUP] 
menu (P23). The setting can be 
distinguished by the colour of the 
battery indication (blue or white).
– The battery indication does not appear 
when you use the camera along with the 
AC adaptor (DMW-AC2; optional).
A: When oxyride batteries are selected
The battery indication turns blue.
B: When alkaline/Ni-MH batteries are 
selected
The battery indication turns white.
• We recommend that you use Panasonic 
batteries.
• The performance of the batteries may 
vary depending on brand or storage 
terms/condition of the batteries.
• The performance of the batteries may be 
temporarily deteriorated in low 
temperature conditions (10
oC or less). 
However, the performance of the batteries 
is recovered when the batteries become 
close to the ambient temperature.
• Depending on the temperature or the 
conditions, the camera may not be 
operated properly or the battery indication 
may not be displayed correctly and the 
batteries may become empty without 
indication. However, this is not a 
malfunction.
• We recommend turning the camera off 
frequently while recording to maintain the 
power of the batteries for a long time. If 
you will be using the camera for a long 
time, using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries 
is more practical.
• The exhausted batteries may recover 
some performance when they are left for a 
period of time. However, they cannot be 
used for a long time. Be sure to replace 
with new batteries.
