THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.
FCC Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation
instructions and use only shielded interface cables with ferrite core when
connecting to computer or peripheral devices.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B)
Contains IC : 772C-LB1JS955 HMN: DC2801
This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures
have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. DC-ZS200 has been tested and found to comply with IC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets
RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

DVQX1409 (ENG)
• The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery
before use.
• 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

Preparations/Basics
Before use
■
Camera handling
Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which may damage the
lens, monitor, viewfinder, or camera body. This may also cause the camera to
malfunction or prevent recording.
• Dropping or hitting the camera against a hard surface
• Sitting down with the camera in your pants pocket or forcing it into a full bag
• Adding accessories to the camera strap
• Pushing with excessive force on the lens or monitor
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.
■
Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or 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,
monitor, or 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.

Q&A
Troubleshooting
• Performing [Reset] in the [Setup] menu may resolve the issue.
• Further information is provided in the “Owner’s manual for advanced features
(PDF format)”. Check it together with the information in this section.
The charging lamp blinks.
• Charging is being performed in a place with extremely high or low temperature.
→ Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and retry charging in a place where
ambient temperature is 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) (temperature conditions also
apply to the battery itself).
• Charging is not possible if the power supply capacity of the computer is low.
Focus not aligned correctly.
• Subject outside of focus range.
• [Focus/Release Priority] is set to [RELEASE]. (→46)
• [Shutter AF] is set to [OFF]. (→46)
• AF Lock is set inappropriately.
• If there are fingerprints or dirt on the lens, the focus may be set to the lens and not the
subject.
Subject appears skewed in pictures.
• If you take a picture of a moving subject in the electronic shutter mode, motion picture
recording mode, or 4K photo recording mode, the subject in the picture may be skewed
in some cases. This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup
sensors. This is not a malfunction.
No flash emitted.
• The flash becomes unavailable in the following cases.
– The flash is closed.
– Flash set to [
] (Forced Flash Off).
• Set [Shutter Type] to [AUTO] or [MSHTR]. (→45)
• Set [Silent Mode] to [OFF]. (→45)

62
Others
DVQX1409 (ENG)
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting
and LED lighting fixture.
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is
not a malfunction.
• If you are taking still pictures using the electronic shutter, the striping may be reduced by
setting a slower shutter speed.
• When noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED lighting
fixture in the motion picture recording mode, you can reduce the flicker or striping by setting
up [Flkr Decrease] (→45) and fixing the shutter speed. It is possible to select a shutter speed
from [1/50], [1/60], [1/100], or [1/120]. You can set the shutter speed manually in the Creative
Video Mode. (→21)
A Wi-Fi connection cannot be established. Radio waves get disconnected.
• Use within the communication range of the wireless LAN network.
• If any device, such as microwave oven, cordless phone, etc., that uses 2.4 GHz frequency
are used nearby this unit simultaneously, radio waves may get interrupted.
→ Use them sufficiently away from the device.
• When the battery indicator is flashing red, the connection with other equipment may not
start or the connection may be disrupted. (A message such as [Communication error] is
displayed.)
• When this unit is placed on a metal table or shelf, the connection may not be established
easily because the camera is affected by radio waves. Use the camera away from metal
surfaces.
The lens makes a clicking noise.
• When the camera is turned on or off, the lens is moved, or an aperture operation is
performed, such a noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
• When the brightness changes after a zooming operation or moving the camera, the lens may
make a noise while adjusting the aperture. This is not a malfunction.
