Battery
• Extremely high or low temperatures
will shorten the life of the battery.
• If the battery is kept in smoky or
dusty places, the terminal may rust
and cause malfunctions.
• Do not allow the battery terminals
to come in contact with metal
objects (such as necklaces,
hairpins, etc.). This can result in
a short circuit or heat generation
and, if you touch the battery in
this condition, you may be badly
burned.
• Store the battery in a completely
discharged state. To store the
battery for a long period of time, we
recommend you charge it once
every year and store it again after
you completely use up the charged
capacity.
Card
• When the card is being read, do not
remove the card, turn off the power,
or subject it to vibration or impact.
• Do not leave the card in places
where there is high temperature or
direct sunlight, or where
electromagnetic waves or static
electricity are easily generated.
• Do not bend or drop the card. The
card or the recorded content may
be damaged.
• After use, be sure to remove the
card from the digital camera.
• Do not touch the terminals on the
back of the card with your fingers.
Do not allow dirt, dust or water to
enter it.

LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/
Lens Ring
LCD monitor
• In a place with drastic temperature
changes, condensation may form
on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with
soft dry cloth.
• If the digital camera is extremely
cold when you turn the power on,
the image on the LCD monitor is
slightly darker than usual at first.
However, as the internal
temperature increases, it goes back
to the normal brightness.
...........................................................
Extremely high precision technology
is employed to produce the LCD
monitor screen featuring a total of
approximately 110,000 pixels. The
result is more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels
inactive or always lit. However, this is
not a malfunction and does not affect
the recorded picture.

Viewfinder
• Do not direct the viewfinder or lens
to the sun. Internal components
may be seriously damaged.
Lens ring
• Do not attach other conversion
lenses on the lens ring; there is no
mount to be used for the
attachment.
• When you want to attach the tele
conversion lens (DMW-LT52;
optional) or wide conversion lens
(DMW-LW52; optional), first of all,
turn the lens ring counterclockwise.
If the MC protector (DMW-LMC52;
optional) is used, the lens ring can
be mounted on the filter.
• If you push the zoom lever toward
W during recording with the filter or
conversion lens attached to the
digital camera, 4 corners of the
image may become dark
(vignetting). For details, refer to the
operating instructions of your
accessories.
