Charging battery
About batteries that you can use with this unit
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very
similar to the genuine product 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 would recommend that a genuine
Panasonic battery pack is used.
Use the dedicated charger and battery.
The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can
be used safely. The dedicated battery (DMW-BCH7PP) supports
this function. The only batteries suitable for use with this unit
are genuine Panasonic products and batteries manufactured by
other companies and certified by Panasonic. (Batteries which do
not support this function cannot be used). Panasonic cannot in
any way guarantee the quality, performance or safety of batteries
which have been manufactured by other companies and are not
genuine Panasonic products.
The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge
the battery and set the clock before use.
Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C - 35 °C)
(50 °F - 95 °F).
