About the picture data
• Recorded data may be damaged or lost if 
the camera breaks down due to 
inappropriate handling. Panasonic will not 
be liable for any damage suffered due to

About tripods
• When you use a tripod, make sure the 
tripod is stable when this unit is attached 
to it.
• You may not be able to remove the card or 
the battery when using a tripod.

not at an angle when attaching or 
detaching the camera. You may damage 
the screw on the camera if you use
