(Important) About the Waterproof/
Dustproof and Anti-shock Performance 
of the Camera
This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all 
conditions.
¢1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified 
pressure in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic.
¢2 “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock” is the test method standard of the U.S. Defense 
Department, which specifies performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm (4 feet), at 
26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of devices, and passing the 
26 orientation drops within 5 devices. (If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to 
pass the drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices)
Panasonic’s test method is based on the above “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”. 
However, the drop height was changed from 122 cm (4 feet) to 200 cm (6.6 feet) dropping 
onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plyboard. This drop test was passed.
(Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or distortion of the part where 
drop impact is applied.)
¢3 According to the test conditions specified by Panasonic.
