ª Recommended batteries
Use
AA Alkaline batteries
or
AA Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries
(Optional)
. (We recommend that you use Panasonic batteries)
• The performance of the batteries may vary depending on brand or storage
terms/condition of the battery. And it may cause malfunction or the available
recording time may become shorter.
• As the ambient temperature decreases, the battery performance and capacity
may temporarily decrease. In such cases, remove the batteries, warming them in
your pocket.
• The battery indicator may not be displayed correctly depending on the
temperature or other conditions. Battery may be empty without indication.
Batteries that should not be used
• If the batteries listed above are used, improper operation can result and the
following malfunctions can occur;
• Remaining battery time may not be displayed accurately.
• Camera may turn off prematurely.
• Data written to Memory Card can be damaged resulting in the loss of photos.
• If Nickel Manganese batteries are used, due to temperature variations, the battery
display may not accurately display the remaining battery life. The camera may
prematurely turn off even if there is sufficient battery life. The available time
becomes extremely short in cold places, so use them after warming them in your
pocket.
ª Batteries that cannot be used
The following batteries cannot be used.
• Batteries where part or their entire outer covering jacket has been removed or
partially peeled away.
• Batteries that have “flattened” ends that would prevent a proper connection from
being made with internal battery contacts.
Manganese batteries Nickel batteries
Ni-cd batteries Lithium batteries
Nickel Manganese batteries
• All or part of the seal of batteries are
peeled off
• - polarity is flat

ª Proper Care and Handling of the Batteries
If you mishandle the batteries, leakage, generation of heat and fire or
explosion may occur. Observe the following cautions;
• Do not attempt to disassemble the battery or subject the battery to any extreme
mechanical abuse.
• Do not heat or throw into the fire.
• Do not allow the battery contacts to touch metal objects.
• Do not subject the battery, battery connectors, or the camera to any direct
moisture, especially salt water. This can cause corrosion of the metal surfaces.
• Do not peel off or remove the outer battery covering.
• Do not throw the batteries.
• Do not use batteries that appear mechanically damaged, swollen or show signs of
leakage.
• Do not store batteries in high humidity or high temperature environments.
• Keep batteries away from small children.
• Do not install batteries backwards (reverse polarity). Serious damage or injury can
result.
• Do not mix new batteries and old batteries.
• All batteries should be of the same brand, size, capacity. Avoid mixing batteries.
• If you will not be using the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.
• Following prolonged use, it is normal for the battery to be warm.
• As the ambient temperature decreases, the battery capacity and performance will
decrease. This is normal. In such cases, remove the batteries and warm them in
your pocket. Take special care not to allow the contacts to come into contact with
metal objects in your pocket.
• If oxidation or any foreign substance is found on the battery contacts it could
prevent the battery from making a good electrical contact. Operation could
become intermittent. If this occurs, clean the battery contact with an ink eraser.
If any leakage from the battery is noted, avoid direct skin contact. Remove the
battery and clean as much of the foreign substance as possible. Contact your
local service center for assistance if necessary.

ª Optional Ni-MH Battery (Nickel Metal Hydride)
The battery charger should only be used with the optional Ni-MH
batteries. Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
Please be aware of the following issues;
• If any oxidation or foreign substance is found on the battery contacts, the battery
may not be charged correctly. Battery contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth or
ink eraser.
• Newly purchased rechargeable batteries or those which have not been used for a
long period of time may not reach full capacity after one charge. The overall
performance will increase after 2-3 discharge/charge cycles.
• Rechargeable batteries should be used to the point when the camera stops
working. They should be recharged as soon as possible. Premature charging can
cause “memory effect”, whereby the overall operating time can be decreased.
• Even during storage, rechargeable batteries will naturally discharge. We suggest
charging before each use.
• Once batteries have reach full charge, avoid over charging them.
• Do not peel off or damage the covered seal.
• Read the Operating Instructions for the battery charger.
Ni-MH batteries
have a limited life. The battery power decreases gradually over time.
If available time seems much shorter, purchase the new batteries.
• The battery’s life differs depending on the condition stored or used or environment.
ª Battery indicator
The remaining battery power is displayed on the LCD monitor. (This is not displayed
when using AC adaptor (optional, DMW-AC1).)
: The battery power is sufficient
: The remaining power is low
: There is little remaining power
(blink): Replace the batteries
• The battery indicator may not be displayed correctly depending on the
temperature or other conditions. As a result, even if the battery indicator is not
empty, the power may be turned off. This is not a malfunction.
• Even if the battery power depletes when leaving them unused for a while, the
battery power may recover. However, they will not be usable, so replace them to
new ones once the battery power depletes.

Taking Pictures using Night Portrait Mode
The Night Portrait mode combines the
electronic flash with a “slow shutter” mode.
This unique feature allows you to photograph
close subjects against the natural night
background. Since the shutter speed is slow,
we highly recommend using a tripod to steady
the camera.
The subject should be positioned within the
available flash range. (Tele:
1.64 feet (50 cm) -
4.59 feet (140 cm), Wide: 0.98 feet (30 cm) -
7.87 feet (2.4 m).)
We recommend setting the zoom lever
towards W.
1 Set the mode dial to Night portrait
mode [ ].
2 Take a picture.
• When flash is set to Forced OFF [ ], you can capture night illumination scenery
with slower shutter speed. (Max: about 8 seconds)
• When taking a picture in a dark place, noise may appear. To avoid noise, we
recommend setting the picture adjustment to [NATURAL]. (P47)

Cautions for Use
ª Cautions for Use
Keep the digital camera away from
magnetized equipment (such as a
microwave oven, TV, video game
equipment, etc.).
• If you use the digital camera on or
near a TV, images and sounds may be
disturbed due to electromagnetic wave
radiation.
• Do not use the digital camera near a
cell phone because doing so may
cause noise to adversely affect the
images and sounds.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or
images may be distorted by strong
magnetic fields created by speakers or
large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation
generated by a microprocessor may
adversely affect the digital camera,
causing the disturbance of images and
sounds.
• If the digital camera is affected by
magnetically charged equipment and
does not function properly, turn the
camera off and detach the batteries
and then connect the batteries again.
Thereafter, turn the camera on.
Do not use the digital camera near
radio transmitters or high-voltage
lines.
• If you record near radio transmitters or
high-voltage lines, recorded images or
sounds may be adversely affected.
