14. Materials - Cautions for Use
■
Cleaning
Before cleaning the camera, disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet. Then wipe the camera
with a dry, soft cloth.
●
When the camera is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet cloth, and then with a dry
cloth.
●
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.
●
When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.
■
Dirt on the image sensor
If dirt gets inside the mount when changing lenses, depending on the recording conditions, it may adhere to the image
sensor and appear on the recorded picture.
To prevent debris or dust adhering to internal parts of the body, avoid changing the lens in a dusty environment and always
fit the body cap or a lens when storing the camera. Remove any dirt on the body cap before attaching it.
Removing dirt on the image sensor
The image sensor is very precise and delicate, so be sure to observe the following when you do have to clean it yourself.
●
Blow dust off the surface of the image sensor using a commercially available blower. Do not blow the dust off with
excessive power.
●
Do not put the blower brush further inside than the lens mount as the image sensor may get scratched.
●
Do not use any objects except a blower brush to clean the image sensor.
●
If you cannot remove the dirt or dust with the blower, consult the dealer or Panasonic.
■
AC Adaptor
●
If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the charger 1 m (3.3 feet) or
more away from radio.
●
During usage, the AC adaptor may emit an electrical hum; this is not a malfunction.
●
After use, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet. (A very small amount of current is consumed if
it is left connected.)
■
Card
Do not leave the card in areas with high temperatures, direct sunlight, or areas prone to
electromagnetic waves and static.
Do not bend or drop the card.
Do not subject the card to strong vibration.
●
Otherwise, the card and recorded data may be damaged.
●
Put the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when storing or carrying the card.
●
Do not allow dirt, water or other foreign objects to get into the contacts on the card. Additionally, do not touch the
contacts with your hands.
