Poštovani kupče,
ovom vam se prilikom zahvaljujemo na kupnji Panasonicova digitalnog fotoaparata. 
Pažljivo pročitajte ove upute za uporabu i sačuvajte ih za buduću uporabu. 
Uzmite u obzir da se upravljačke tipke i dijelovi, stavke izbornika itd. na digitalnom 
fotoaparatu u stvarnosti mogu razlikovati od onih prikazanih u ovim uputama za 
uporabu.
Pridržavajte se zakona o autorskim pravima.
•  Snimanje prethodno snimanih kaseta ili diskova te ostalog objavljenog ili 
emitiranog sadržaja za potrebe koje se ne odnose na vašu privatnu uporabu 
može dovesti do kršenja autorskih prava. Presnimavanje određenog sadržaja 
može biti zabranjeno, čak i u privatne svrhe.
Sigurnosne napomene
UPOZORENJE:
Da biste spriječili rizik od požara, strujnog udara ili oštećenja 
proizvoda,
•   Uređaj nemojte izlagati kiši, vlazi, kapanju ili prskanju.
•   Koristite samo preporučeni pribor.
•   Nemojte uklanjati poklopce.
•   Nemojte sami popravljati uređaj. Servisiranje povjerite 
kvalificiranom osoblju.
Strujna utičnica mora biti blizu uređaja i lako dostupna.
■ Oznake za identifikaciju proizvoda

■ Baterija
OPREZ
•  U slučaju nepravilne zamjene baterije postoji opasnost od 
eksplozije. Baterije zamijenite isključivo onim tipom baterija koji 
preporučuje proizvođač.
•   Ako želite odložiti baterije, obratite se lokalnim vlastima ili 
prodavaču i raspitajte se o pravilnom načinu odlaganja.
•   Nemojte zagrijavati ni izlagati otvorenom plamenu.
•   Bateriju(e) nemojte ostavljati dulje vrijeme u vozilu sa zatvorenim 
vratima i prozorima, ako je vozilo izravno izloženo sunčevim zrakama.
Upozorenje
Rizik od požara, eksplozija i opeklina. Nemojte rastavljati bateriju, 
zagrijavati je na temperaturu iznad 60 °C niti je paliti.
■ Prilagodnik za izmjeničnu struju
OPREZ!
Da biste spriječili požar, strujni udar ili oštećenje proizvoda,
•  Ovaj uređaj nemojte postaviti u ormar, ugrađeni ormarić 
ili u drugi ograničeni prostor. Uređaj mora biti na dobro 
prozračenom mjestu.
•  Uređaj je u stanju čekanja kad je priključen prilagodnik za izmjeničnu struju. 
Primarni strujni krug uvijek je pod naponom dok je prilagodnik za izmjeničnu 
struju spojen na strujnu utičnicu.
■ Mjere opreza prilikom uporabe
•  Koristite isključivo isporučeni USB-kabel ili originalni Panasonicov USB-kabel 
(DMW-USBC1, neobavezan).
•  Koristite isključivo isporučeni prilagodnik za izmjeničnu struju.
•  Uvijek koristite originalni Panasonicov AV-kabel (DMW-AVC1, neobavezan).
•  Uvijek koristite originalne Panasonicove baterije (DMW-BCL7E).
•  Ako koristite druge baterije, ne možemo jamčiti kvalitetu ovog proizvoda.
•  Memorijsku karticu čuvajte izvan dohvata djece da je ne bi progutala.
Uređaj držite što je dalje moguće od elektromagnetske opreme (poput 
mikrovalnih pećnica, TV-prijamnika, igraćih konzola itd.).
•  Ako uređaj koristite na TV-prijamniku ili u blizini TV-prijamnika, elektromagnetsko 
bi zračenje moglo štetno utjecati na sliku i/ili zvuk.
•  Uređaj nemojte koristiti u blizini mobitela jer bi se mogle pojaviti smetnje s 
nepovoljnim utjecajem na sliku i/ili zvuk.
•  Jaka magnetska polja zvučnika ili velikih motora mogu oštetiti snimljene podatke 
ili izobličiti slike.
•  Elektromagnetska zračenja koja stvaraju mikroprocesori mogu štetno djelovati 
na fotoaparat te može doći do izobličenja slike i/ili zvuka.
•  Ako na uređaj štetno djeluje elektromagnetska oprema te on prestane ispravno 
funkcionirati, isključite fotoaparat i izvadite bateriju ili odspojite isporučeni 
prilagodnik za izmjeničnu struju. Nakon toga ponovno umetnite bateriju ili 
ponovno spojite prilagodnik za izmjeničnu struju te uključite uređaj.
Nemojte koristiti uređaj blizu radioodašiljača ili vodova pod visokim 
naponom.
•   Snimanje u blizini radioodašiljača ili vodova s visokim naponom moglo bi štetno 
djelovati na snimljene fotografije i/ili zvuk.

Ovim se oznakama na proizvodu, pakiranju i/ili pratećim 
dokumentima označava da se korišteni električni i 
elektronički uređaji te baterije ne smiju odlagati s 
otpadom iz domaćinstava.
Radi pravilne obrade, sanacije i recikliranja dotrajalih 
proizvoda i baterija, odnesite ih u odgovarajuća 
prikupljališta, u skladu s lokalnim zakonodavstvom i 
Direktivama 2002/96/EZ i 2006/66/EZ.
Pravilnim odlaganjem navedenih proizvoda i baterija 
pomoći ćete očuvanju vrijednih resursa i spriječiti 
negativne učinke na ljudsko zdravlje i okoliš koji bi mogli 
nastati zbog neprimjerenog rukovanja otpadom.

proizvoda i baterija potražite u lokalnom poglavarstvu, 
službi za odlaganje otpada ili na prodajnom mjestu na 
kojem ste kupili proizvod. Za nepropisno odlaganje 
ovog otpada mogli biste biti kažnjeni sukladno lokalnom 
zakonodavstvu. 
Za poslovne korisnike u Europskoj uniji
