Cautions for Use
ª Optimal Use of the Camera
Keep the camera away from
magnetized equipment (such as a
microwave oven, TV, video game
equipment, etc.).
• If you use the camera on or near a TV,
pictures and sounds may be disturbed
due to electromagnetic wave radiation.
• Do not use the camera near a cell
phone because doing so may cause
noise to adversely affect the pictures
and sounds.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or
pictures may be distorted by strong
magnetic fields created by speakers or
large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation
generated by a microprocessor may
adversely affect the camera, causing
the disturbance of pictures and
sounds.
• If the camera is affected by
magnetically charged equipment and
does not function properly, turn the
camera off and remove the batteries
or disconnect AC adaptor (optional,
DMW-AC1) and then insert the
batteries or connect AC adaptor
(optional, DMW-AC1) again.
Thereafter, 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, recorded pictures
or sounds may be adversely affected.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile
chemicals onto the camera.
• If the camera is sprayed with such
chemicals, the camera body may be
damaged and the surface finish may
peel off.
• Do not keep rubber or plastic products
in contact with the camera for a long
period of time.
When you use the camera on a rainy
or snowy day or on a beach or similar
place, do not let grit, fine dust or
seawater get into the camera.
• Grit or dust may damage the camera
or card. (Care should be taken when
inserting and removing the card.)
• If seawater splashes onto the camera,
wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it
well, and use it to wipe the camera
body carefully. Then, wipe it again
thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
When carrying this camera, take care
not to drop or hit it.
• The outer case may be destroyed by
the strong shock, and it may cause
malfunction of this camera.
• For storing or transporting the camera,
place it in a bag or case lined with soft
pads to prevent the coating on the
camera body from being worn.
Do not use benzine, thinner or
alcohol for cleaning the camera.
• Before cleaning the camera, remove
the batteries or disconnect the
AC adaptor (optional, DMW-AC1) from
the electrical outlet.
• The camera body may be deformed
and the surface finish may peel off.
• Wipe the camera with a soft, dry cloth.
To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a
cloth that is soaked in a detergent
diluted with water and afterward finish
wiping with a dry cloth.
