Introduction – Before Use

Before Use
 Firmware of Your Camera/Lens
Firmware updates may be provided in order to improve camera capabilities or to add
functionality.
Make sure that the firmware of the camera/lens you purchased is the latest version.
We recommend using the latest firmware version.

• To check the firmware version of the camera/lens, attach the lens to the camera and
select [Firmware Version] in the [Setup] ([Others]) menu. You can also update the
firmware in [Firmware Version]. ([Firmware Version]: 628)
• For the latest information on the firmware or to download/update the firmware,
visit the following support site:
https://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/index4.html
(English only)

 Handling of the Camera


When using the camera, take care not to drop it, bump it, or apply undue force.
These may cause malfunction or damage to the camera and lens.

If sand, dust, or liquid gets on the monitor, wipe it off with a dry soft cloth.
– Touch operations may be incorrectly recognized.

Do not place a hand inside the camera mount.


This may cause a failure or damage because the sensor is a precision device.

If you shake the camera while turning the camera off, a sensor may operate or a
rattling sound may be heard. This is caused by the image stabilizer mechanism
in the body. It is not a malfunction.

19
Introduction – Before Use

 Splash Resistant
Splash Resistant is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this
camera offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust.
Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is
subjected to direct contact with water.
In order to minimize the possibility of damage please be sure the following
precautions are taken:
– Splash Resistant works in conjunction with the lenses that were specifically
designed to support this feature.
– Securely close the doors, contact points cover, etc.
– When the lens or cap is removed or a door is open, do not allow sand, dust, and
moisture to enter inside.
– If liquid gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry soft cloth.

 Condensation (When the Lens, the Viewfinder or Monitor


is Fogged Up)
• Condensation occurs when there are temperature or humidity differences. Take care
as this may lead to soiling, mold, and malfunctions in the lens, viewfinder, and
monitor.
• If condensation occurs, turn off the camera and leave it for approx. 2 hours. The fog
will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the
ambient temperature.

20
Introduction – Before Use

 Be Sure to Perform Trial Recording in Advance


Perform trial recording in advance of an important event (wedding, etc.) to check that
recording can be performed normally.

 No Compensation Regarding Recording


Please note that compensation cannot be provided in the event that recording could
not be performed due to a problem with the camera or a card.

 Be Careful with Regard to Copyrights


Under copyright law, you may not use the images and audio you have recorded for
other than personal enjoyment without the permission of the copyright holder.
Be careful because there are cases where restrictions apply to recording even for the
purpose of personal enjoyment.

Images are recorded over several times and only the parts that change to
become brighter form part of the composition.
The images composed by recording at a set exposure time (shutter speed)
are displayed, allowing the images to be confirmed as recording proceeds.
This allows you to reduce the overall brightness for recording, so it is
convenient for recording the light trails of stars or fireworks against a bright
nightscape.

Special Video Recording – Slow & Quick Video

Slow & Quick Video

In the [S&Q] mode, the camera records at a different frame rate to the
recording frame rate, enabling the creation of slow motion video and quick
motion video in the MOV format.

Slow Motion Video (Overcrank Recording)


Set a number of frames that is higher than the recording frame rate of the [Rec
Quality].
For example: When recording at 60 fps when set to a 29.97p [Rec Quality], the speed
is halved.

Quick Motion Video (Undercrank Recording)


Set a number of frames that is lower than the recording frame rate of the [Rec Quality].
For example: When recording at 15 fps when set to a 29.97p [Rec Quality], the speed
is doubled.

• Slow & Quick video with a recording quality with the ALL-Intra image
compression system cannot be recorded to SD cards. You will need a

You can repair the “.mdt” file with this function to make it playable.
• Possible causes for the generation of “.mdt” files are:
– Power turns off during video recording (battery is removed, AC cable is unplugged,
power outage while using the AC adaptor, etc.)
– Card removed during video recording
– Card removed while writing to card after video recording
– When an unexpected freeze occurs during video recording/while writing to the
card

• Videos that can be repaired are those videos recorded with the [Rec. File
Format] being either [MOV] or [Apple ProRes].
Video recorded in [MP4] cannot be repaired.
• As repairs can take some time, use the Panasonic AC Adaptor (DMW-AC10:
optional) and DC Coupler (DMW-DCC17: optional) or supply with power during
the operation. (Using the Camera While Supplying It with Power (Supplying

 AC Adaptor
• The charging lights may blink under the influence of static electricity or
electromagnetic wave, depending on the charging environment. This phenomenon
has no effects on charging.
• If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio reception may be disturbed.
Keep the charger 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from radio.
• During usage, the AC adaptor may emit an electrical hum; this is not a malfunction.
• After use, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet.
(A very small amount of current is consumed if it is left connected.)

 Card
Do not leave the card in areas with high temperatures, direct sunlight,
or areas prone to electromagnetic waves and static.
Do not bend or drop the card.
Do not subject the card to strong vibration.
• Otherwise, the card and recorded data may be damaged.
• Put the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when storing or
carrying the card.

Points to remember when disposing of/transferring the memory card


Format or delete using the camera or a PC will only modify the file management
information, so it will not delete the data in the card completely.
We recommend physically destroying the card or using commercially available PC
data deletion software to delete the card data completely when disposing of/
transferring the card.
You are responsible for handling of data on cards.

 When Not Using the Camera for a Long Period of Time


• Ensure you remove the battery and card from the camera.
If the battery is left in the camera, it may over-discharge, and be rendered unusable
even after charging.
• Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF); recommended
humidity: 40 %RH to 60 %RH)
• If storing for a long period of time, it is recommended that the battery be charged
once per year, fully drained in the camera, then removed from the camera and then
stored again.
• We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a
closet or a cabinet.
• Check all the parts before recording when you have not used the camera for a long
period of time.

 Image 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 caused due to loss of recorded data.

Materials – Cautions for Use

 Tripod
• Make sure the tripod is stable when the camera is attached to it.
• When using a tripod, removal of the battery may not be possible.
• Care is required because tightening the screw excessively may damage the camera,
or cause the rating label to come off.
• Please also refer to the operating instructions for the tripod.

 Shoulder Strap
• If you attach a heavy interchangeable lens to the camera body, do not carry the
camera by the shoulder strap.
Hold the camera and the lens when carrying them.

801
Materials – Cautions for Use

 Wi-Fi Function
Use the camera as a wireless LAN device.
When using devices or computer systems that require more reliable security than
wireless LAN devices, ensure that the appropriate measures are taken for safety
designs and defects for the systems used.
Panasonic will not take any responsibility for any damage that arises when using the
camera for any purpose other than as a wireless LAN device.

Use of the Wi-Fi function of the camera is presumed to be in


countries where it is sold.
There is the risk that the camera violates the radio wave regulations if used in
countries other than those where it is sold, and Panasonic takes no responsibility for
any violations.

There is the risk that data sent and received via radio waves may be
intercepted.
Please note that there is the risk that data sent and received via radio waves may be
intercepted by a third party.

Do not use the camera in areas with magnetic fields, static electricity
or interference.
• Do not use the camera in areas with magnetic fields, static electricity or interference,
such as near microwave ovens.
These may cause the interruption of the radio waves.
• Using the camera near devices such as microwave ovens or cordless telephones
that use the 2.4 GHz radio wave band may cause a decrease in performance in both
devices.

Do not connect to the wireless network you are not authorized to use.
When using Wi-Fi, wireless networks (SSID) that you are not allowed to use may be
displayed, but you should not connect to these as it may be viewed as unauthorized
access.
