■ Optimal Use of the Camera
Take care not to drop or
knock the unit or put a lot
of pressure on it.
• Do not leave the unit in
your pants pocket when
you sit down or forcefully
insert it into a full bag etc.
• Take care not to drop or
knock the bag that you
inserted the unit in as it
may strongly shock the unit.
• A strong shock may break the lens,
screen or outer case and cause the
camera to malfunction.
Keep the camera as far away as
possible from electromagnetic
equipment (such as microwave ovens,
TVs, video games etc.).
• If you use the camera on top of or near
a TV, the pictures on the camera may
be disrupted by electromagnetic wave
radiation.
• Do not use the camera near cell phones
because doing so may result in noise
adversely affecting the pictures.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or
pictures may be distorted, by strong
magnetic fi elds created by speakers or
large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation
generated by microprocessors may
adversely affect the camera, disturbing
the pictures.
• If the camera is adversely affected by
electromagnetic equipment and stops
functioning properly, turn the camera off
and remove the battery or disconnect
AC adaptor (DMW-AC6; optional). Then
reinsert the battery or reconnect AC
adaptor and turn the camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio
transmitters or high-voltage lines.
• If you record near radio transmitters or
high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures
may be adversely affected.
Make sure to use the supplied cords
and cables. If you use optional
accessories, use the cords and the
cables supplied with them. Do not
extend the cords and the cables.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile
chemicals onto the camera.

chemically treated cloth.
• In case rain or other sources of water
splash onto the camera, wipe it with a dry
cloth.
