About batteries that you can use with this unit
The battery that can be used with this unit is DMW-BCG10E.
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very 
similar to the genuine products are made available to purchase 
in some markets. Some of these battery packs are not adequately 
protected with internal protection to meet the requirements of 
appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these 
battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised 
that we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as 
a result of use of a counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that 
safe products are used we would recommend that a genuine 
Panasonic battery pack is used.
 Use the dedicated charger and battery.
 The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can 
be used safely. The dedicated battery (DMW-BCG10E) supports 
this function. The only batteries suitable for use with this unit 
are genuine Panasonic products and batteries manufactured by 
other companies and certified by Panasonic. (Batteries which do 
not support this function cannot be used). Panasonic cannot in 
any way guarantee the quality, performance or safety of batteries 
which have been manufactured by other companies and are not 
genuine Panasonic products.
 The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge 
the battery and set the clock before use.
 Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C - 35 °C).
