About batteries that you can use with this unit
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 recommend 
that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.
 
Using the camera with power supplied from an electrical outlet
When using the AC adaptor (supplied), you can use the camera while power is supplied 
via the USB connection cable (supplied).
The battery will need to be inserted in the camera at that time, even though it will not be 
charged.
 
Battery power may be consumed when taking pictures. The camera will turn off 
when no battery power is left.
 
Turn off the camera when connecting/disconnecting the AC adaptor.
