Preparations

Before use

■

Camera handling

●

Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.

●

The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.

Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where

water can come into contact with the camera.

●

Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile

substances (can cause surface damage or coating to peel).

■

Condensation (When the lens, the monitor or the viewfinder is fogged up)

●

Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes

of temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make

the lens, the monitor or the viewfinder dirty, cause mold, or damage the

camera.

●

If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours

before using it. Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature,

the fogging will clear naturally.

■

Caring for your camera

●

Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC coupler (DMW-

DCC11: optional), or disconnect the power plug from the outlet.

●

Do not press the monitor with excessive force.

●

Do not press the lens with excessive force.

●

Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long

period of time.

●

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents,

etc., to clean the camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the

coating may peel off.

●

Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from

the sun may cause it to malfunction.

●

Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.

●

While the camera is accessing the card (for an operation such as picture

writing, reading, deletion, or formatting), do not turn off the camera or

remove the battery, card, AC adaptor (DMW-AC10PP: optional) or DC

coupler (DMW-DCC11: optional).

●

The data on the card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic

waves, static electricity or breakdown of the camera or the card. We

recommend storing important data on a PC etc.

●

Do not format the card on your PC or other equipment. Format it on the

camera only to ensure proper operation.

before use.

• Use the dedicated charger and battery.

Attach the battery paying attention to the

direction of the battery

Connect the charger to the electrical outlet

Charging light ([CHARGE])

On: Charging in progress

Off: Charging complete

If light is flashing:

• Battery temperature is too high or too low. We

recommend charging in a location where the

ambient temperature is between 10 °C and

30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F).

• Battery/charger connector is dirty. Clean with

a dry cloth.

• Charge the battery with the charger indoors.

Detach the battery after charging is completed

Charging time Approx. 190 min

• The charging time indicated above is the time required for charging in case

when the battery is completely used up. The time required for charging differs

(flashes red)

If the battery mark flashes red, recharge or replace a fully

charged battery.

●

The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. If the temperature is too high

or too low, the operating time of the battery will become shorter.

●

The battery becomes warm after using and during and after charging. The

camera also becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.

●

Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of

the power plug or near the batteries.

●

Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature.

(Recommended temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F), Recommended

humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)

●

Do not store the battery for a long time while fully charged. When storing

the battery for a long period of time, we recommend charging it once a year.

Remove the battery from the camera and store it again after it has completely

discharged.

About RAW file

In RAW file format the data is saved without any picture processing by the

camera. This format delivers a higher picture quality than the JPEG format,

but the amount of data is greater. To play back and edit RAW file pictures, you

must use this unit or dedicated software. You can perform advanced editing of

RAW file pictures, such as correcting the White Balance of pictures recorded

previously, and save the pictures in file formats that can be displayed on a PC.

• You can develop the RAW file pictures using [RAW Processing] in the

• To develop and edit RAW file pictures on a PC, use the supplied DVD

software (Ichikawa Soft Laboratory’s “SILKYPIX Developer Studio”).
