Before Use
Firmware of Your Camera/Lens
Firmware updates may be provided in order to improve camera capabilities or to add
functionality.
Make sure that the firmware of the camera/lens you purchased is the latest version.
We recommend using the latest firmware version.
•
To check the firmware version of the camera/lens, attach the lens to the camera and
select [Firmware Version] in the [Setup] ([Others]) menu. You can also update the
firmware in [Firmware Version]. ([Firmware Version]: 617)
•
For the latest information on the firmware or to download/update the firmware,
visit the following support site:
https://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/index.html
(English only)
Handling of the Camera
When using the camera, take care not to drop it, bump it, or apply undue force.
These may cause malfunction or damage to the camera and lens.
If sand, dust, or liquid gets on the monitor, wipe it off with a dry soft cloth.
– Touch operations may be incorrectly recognized.
When using in low temperatures (−10 oC to 0 oC (14 oF to 32 oF))
– Before use, attach a Panasonic lens with a minimum recommended operating
temperature of −10 oC (14 oF).
Do not place a hand inside the camera mount.
This may cause a failure or damage because the sensor is a precision device.
If you shake the camera while turning the camera off, a sensor may operate or a
rattling sound may be heard. This is caused by the image stabilizer mechanism
in the body. It is not a malfunction.

Introduction – Before Use
19
Splash Resistant
Splash Resistant is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this
camera offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust.
Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is
subjected to direct contact with water.
In order to minimize the possibility of damage please be sure the following
precautions are taken:
– Splash Resistant works in conjunction with the lenses that were specifically
designed to support this feature.
– Securely close the doors, contact points cover, etc.
– When the lens or cap is removed or a door is open, do not allow sand, dust, and
moisture to enter inside.
– If liquid gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry soft cloth.
Condensation (When the Lens, the Viewfinder or Monitor
is Fogged Up)
•
Condensation occurs when there are temperature or humidity differences. Take care
as this may lead to soiling, mold, and malfunctions in the lens, viewfinder, and
monitor.
•
If condensation occurs, turn off the camera and leave it for approx. 2 hours. The fog
will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the
ambient temperature.

Introduction – Before Use
20
Be Sure to Perform Trial Recording in Advance
Perform trial recording in advance of an important event (wedding, etc.) to check that
recording can be performed normally.
No Compensation Regarding Recording

not be performed due to a problem with the camera or a card.
Be Careful with Regard to Copyrights
Under copyright law, you may not use the images and audio you have recorded for

•
If an operation such as a zoom or button operation is performed during video
recording, that operation sound may be recorded.
•
The lens operation sound (AF and image stabilizer) may be recorded to video.
•
If the operation sound of pressing the video rec. button to end recording bothers
you, try the following:
– Record the video about 3 seconds longer, and then divide the last part of the
video using [Video Divide] in the [Playback] ([Edit Image]) menu.
– Use the Shutter Remote Control (DMW-RS2: optional) for recording.
•
Depending on the type of card, the card access indication may appear for a while
after video recording. This is not a malfunction.
•
Even when playback is performed on a supported device, situations may occur
where image or sound quality is poor, recording information is not displayed
correctly, or playback is not possible, for example.
If you experience any of these, play them back on the camera.
•
Video recording is not possible while you are using the following functions:
– [Time Lapse Shot]

Notes on Flash Recording
•
Do not bring any object near the flash. Heat or light may cause the object to
deform or discolor.
•
If you record repeatedly, time may be needed to charge the flash.
While the flash is charging, images will be recorded without the flash firing.
•
When an external flash is attached, do not carry the camera by holding only the
external flash. It may become detached.
•
When using a commercially available external flash, do not use one with
reversed polarity or function for communicating with a camera.
It may cause the camera to malfunction, or it may not operate correctly.
•
Refer to the operating instructions for the external flash for details.

The flash fires every time regardless of the recording conditions.
This is suitable for recording when there is backlighting or under lighting such as
fluorescent lighting.
[ ] (Slow Sync.)/[ ] (Slow Sync./Red-Eye)
When recording images against a nightscape, this will slow the shutter speed when
the flash fires to make not only the subject but also the nightscape appear brighter.
•
Slower shutter speeds may result in blurry images. To avoid this, we recommend
using a tripod.

Some flash modes may not be available depending on the settings on the
external flash.
•
The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies from person to person.
The effect, which is influenced by factors such as distance to the subject and
whether the subject is looking at the camera when the preliminary flash is fired,
may not be very noticeable in some cases.

The number of pictures that can be taken and the available recording time will be
shorter depending on the SD card used when recording with [Segmented File
Recording].
•
The number of pictures that can be taken and the available video recording time
depend on the recording conditions and the type of recording media.
•

Continuous Recording Time for Video
During video recording, recording will be stopped automatically to protect
the camera if the ambient temperature is high or recording is performed
over extended periods and the internal temperature gets too high.
Guide to Continuous Recording Times for Video from a
Cold Start
*1
•
When recording under the test conditions specified by Panasonic:
– Ambient temperature (temperature in the vicinity of the camera): 23 oC (73.4 oF)/
40 oC (104 oF)
– Camera settings at the time of purchase
– Using an SD card compatible with UHS-II
*1 With the camera turned off and the temperature inside and outside the camera at
23 oC (73.4 oF) (or 40 oC (104 oF)), the camera is turned on and video recording is
started immediately.
*2 Times may be shorter than shown in the table due to the environment and
conditions of use, the status of camera use, and the usage conditions prior to
video recording.

Restarting Video Recording After Stopping Due to
Temperature Increase in the Camera
If video recording stops due to temperature increase in the camera, the
temperature in the camera needs to be lowered before video recording can
be started again.
•
We recommend turning the camera off to lower the temperature in the camera.
•
The continuous recording time for video after restarting depends on the standby time
(the amount of time the camera was off for).
Guide to the standby time after turning off and the continuous recording time for
video after restarting
