When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes
The battery temperature is excessively high or low. The charging time will be longer than
normal. Also, charging may not be completed.
The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry cloth.
Note
After charging is completed, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical
outlet.
The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also
becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
The battery will be exhausted if left for a long period of time after being charged.
The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not
recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully
charged. (The battery has characteristics that will reduce its operating duration and cause the
battery to swell up.)
When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging
the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.
Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the
resulting heat generated.

Recording guide line
When you align the subject on the horizontal
and vertical guide lines or the cross point of
these lines, you can take pictures with
well-designed composition by viewing the size,
the slope and the balance of the subject.
About the Histogram
A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to white)
and the number of pixels at each brightness level on the vertical axis.
It allows you to easily check a picture’s exposure.
1 Dark area, mid-tone, and bright area are balanced out evenly, making it suitable to take
a picture.
2 The picture will become underexposed with more dark area. The pictures with mostly
dark area, such as night scenery, will also have a histogram like this.
3 The picture will become overexposed with more bright area. The pictures with mostly
white area will also have a histogram like this.
Examples of histogram
Note
When you take pictures with the flash or in dark places, the histogram is displayed in
orange because the recorded picture and the histogram do not match each other.
The histogram is an approximation in recording mode.
The histogram of a picture may not match in recording mode and playback mode.
The histogram displayed in this camera does not match histograms displayed by picture editing
software used in PCs etc.
A []:This is used when dividing the entire screen into 3k3 for taking pictures with a
well-balanced composition.
B []:This is used when you want to position the subject at the exact centre of the
screen.

Note
If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discoloured by the
heat or lighting from the flash.
When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted
properly and the picture may become bright or dark.
When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even
when you press the shutter button fully. When [AUTO LCD OFF] is set, the LCD monitor
turns off and the status indicator lights.
The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.
When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient.
It may take time to charge the flash if you repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after the
access indication disappears.
The red-eye reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject was far away from the
camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.

Taking Close-up Pictures
This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of
flowers. You can take pictures of a subject as close as 5 cm from the lens by rotating the
zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k).
Press 4 [#].
In macro mode, [ ] is displayed. To cancel,
press 4 again.
Take the pictures.
Focus range
¢ The focus range changes in steps.
Note
We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] when you take pictures at close range.
If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera,
the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights.
When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed.
Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the
subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.
Macro mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between
the camera and the subject is more than 50 cm it takes longer to focus on it in macro mode than
normal picture mode.
When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.

You can take a picture brightly in dark places by setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] slower. Also,
you can set it faster to reduce the blur of the subject.
Applicable modes:
·
[1/250], [1/125], [1/60], [1/30], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4], [1/2], [1]
Note
This should usually be set to [1/8 ] to take pictures. (When you select a minimum shutter speed
other than [1/8 ], [ ] appears on the screen.)
Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to slower speed might increase the chance of jitter, so we
recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.
Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to faster speed might make the picture darker, so we recommend
recording the picture in well-lit area. If correct exposure cannot be achieved, [ ] will flash in
red when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P24.
Audio can be recorded simultaneously with the image. You can record the conversation

Cautions for Use
Take care not to drop or knock the unit or put a lot of pressure on it.
Take care not to knock or drop the bag/case that you inserted the camera in as the shock may
cause damage to the camera, lens or LCD monitor.
Do not attach any other items to the wrist strap that’s included with your camera. While being
stored, that item can rest against the LCD monitor and damage it.
Do not use a paper bag as it can easily rip causing the camera to fall and be damaged.
We strongly recommend you purchase a good camera bag/case from your local dealer to
protect your camera.
Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as
microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may be
disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely
affecting the pictures and sound.
Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields
created by speakers or large motors.
Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the
camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.
If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning
properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (optional). Then
reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may
be adversely affected.
Always use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the
cords and the cables supplied with them.
Do not extend the cords or the cables.
Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.
If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the
surface finish may peel off.
Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.
Optimal use of the camera
- 135 -
Others
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or disconnect the power plug from
the 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 benzene, 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.
Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colours may appear on the LCD
monitor and it may malfunction.
If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor will be slightly darker
than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal
temperature of the camera increases.
Do not press the lens with excessive force.
Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it
to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
Cleaning
About the LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen.
However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen.
This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.

The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power comes
from the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to
the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low,
the operating time of the battery will become shorter.
Always remove the battery after use.
Store the removed battery in the battery carrying case (supplied).
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the
body of the battery and the terminals are damaged.
Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the
camera.
Bring charged spare batteries when going out.
Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter
in low temperature conditions such as at a ski resort.
When you travel, do not forget to bring the battery charger (supplied) so that you can charge
the battery in the country that you are travelling in.
Dispose of unusable battery.
The battery has a limited life.
Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.
Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins etc.).
This can cause short circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you touch a
battery.
If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio reception may be disturbed.
Keep the charger 1 m or more away from radio.
The charger may generate whirring sounds when it is being used. This is not a malfunction.
After use, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet. (A very small
amount of current is consumed if it is left connected.)
Keep the terminals of the charger and battery clean.
Do not leave the card where the temperature is high, where electromagnetic waves
or static electricity are easily generated or exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not bend or drop the card.
The card may be damaged or the recorded content may be damaged or deleted.
Put the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when storing or carrying the
card.
Do not allow dirt, dust or water to get into the terminals on the back of the card and do not touch
the terminals with your fingers.

Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature: [Recommended
temperature:15 oC to 25 oC, Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
Always remove the battery and the card from the camera.
If the battery is left inserted in the camera, it will discharge even if the camera is turned off. If
the battery continues to be left in the camera, it will discharge excessively and may become
unusable even if 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.
We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a closet or
a cabinet.
Recorded data may be damaged or lost if the camera breaks down due to inappropriate
handling. Panasonic will not be liable for any damage suffered due to loss of recorded data.
When you use a tripod, make sure the tripod is stable when this unit is attached to it.
You may not be able to remove the card or the battery when using a tripod.
Make sure that the screw on the tripod is not at an angle when attaching or detaching the
camera. You may damage the screw on the camera if you use excessive force when turning it.
Also, the camera body and the rating label may be damaged or scratched if the camera is
attached too tightly to the tripod.
Read the operating instructions for the tripod carefully.

The [CHARGE] lamp flashes.
- 145 -
Others
Is the [REC]/[PLAYBACK] selector switch at the [!] setting? (P33)
Is the mode dial correctly set?
Is there any memory remaining on the built-in memory or the card?
> Delete the pictures which are not necessary to increase the available memory. (P47)
The picture can become whitish if there is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens.
> If the lens is dirty, turn on the camera, eject the lens barrel (P12) and gently wipe the lens
surface with a soft dry cloth.
Was this picture taken with the flash at the close range when the zoom is near [W] (1k)?
> Zoom in a little, and then take the pictures. (P42)
> Check that the exposure is correctly compensated. (P58)
Setting the [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to faster speed might make the picture darker.
> Set the [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to slower speed.
> Set auto bracket (P59), [HI-SPEED BURST] (P67) in scene mode or [BURST] (P86) of the
[REC] mode menu to [OFF].
The focus range varies depending on the recording mode.
> Set to the proper mode for the distance to the subject.
The subject is beyond the focus range of the camera. (P39)
There is camera shake (jitter) or the subject is moving slightly. (P41)
> The shutter speed becomes slower when pictures are taken in dark places so hold the
camera firmly with both hands to take the pictures. (P36)
> When taking pictures at a slow shutter speed, use the self-timer. (P57)
Is the number of recordable pictures 2 or less?
Recording
The picture cannot be recorded.
The recorded picture is whitish.
The area around where the pictures were taken becomes dark.
The recorded picture is too bright or dark.
2 or 3 pictures are taken at one time.

Others
- 146 -
Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?
(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures
indoors etc. noise will appear.)
> Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P81)
> Set [COLOR MODE] to [NATURAL]. (P88)
> Take pictures in bright places.
Has [HIGH SENS.] or [HI-SPEED BURST] in the scene mode been set? If so, the resolution of the
recorded picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing, but this is not a malfunction.
If recording under fluorescent light, the brightness or the hue may change slightly when the shutter
speed becomes fast. This occurs due to the characteristics of fluorescent light. It is not a malfunction.
Are you using a MultiMediaCard? This unit does not support MultiMediaCards.
> When you set the picture quality to [÷], [ý], [ü], or [ÿ], we recommend using a
high-speed card with “10MB/s” or greater displayed on the package.
Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
It is possible that the subject may be warped slightly, or the borders get coloured, depending on
the zoom magnification, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals of the
image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is used.
This is not a malfunction.
The recorded picture looks rough.
Noise appears on the picture.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual
scene.
A reddish vertical line (smear) appears on the LCD monitor during picture-taking.
This is a characteristic of CCDs, and it appears when the subject has a
bright part. Some unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but
this is not a malfunction.
It is recorded in motion pictures but is not recorded on still pictures.
It is recommended that you take pictures while taking care not to expose
the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
Motion picture recording stops in the middle.
Lens
Recorded image may be warped, or nonexistent colour is surrounding the
subject.
- 147 -

The LCD monitor turns off and the status indicator lights when [AUTO LCD OFF] (P29) is
selected for the [ECONOMY] mode.
[This does not happen when using the AC adaptor (optional).]
If the remaining battery power is low, it may take longer for the flash to be charged, and the time
during which the LCD monitor is turned off may become longer.
This phenomenon appears when you press the shutter button halfway to set the aperture value
and does not affect the recorded pictures.
This phenomenon also appears when the brightness changes when the camera is zoomed or
when the camera is moved. This is because of operation of the automatic aperture of the
camera, and it is not a malfunction.
The LCD monitor may flicker for a few seconds after turning the camera on indoors under
fluorescent light. This is not a malfunction.
> Adjust the brightness of the screen. (P27)
[POWER LCD] or [HIGH ANGLE] is activated. (P28)

Is there a picture on the built-in memory or the card?
> The pictures on the built-in memory appear when a card is not inserted. The picture data on
the card appears when a card is inserted.
Is this a picture whose file name has been changed in the PC? If it is, it cannot be played back by this unit.
Has [CATEGORY PLAY] or [FAVORITE PLAY] been set for playback?
> Change to [NORMAL PLAY]. (P44)
Is this a non-standard picture, a picture which has been edited using a PC or a picture which
was taken by another make of digital camera?
Did you remove the battery immediately after picture-taking or did you take the picture using a
battery with a low remaining charge?
> Format the data to delete the pictures mentioned above. (P32)
(Other pictures will be deleted as well and it will not be possible to restore them. Therefore,
check well before formatting.)
Is the clock in the camera set properly? (P21)
When pictures edited using a PC or pictures taken by other equipment are searched, they may
be displayed on dates differing from the actual dates on which the pictures were taken.
Playback
The picture being played back is rotated and displayed in an unexpected

Is it a picture that has been recorded with other equipment? In such cases, these pictures may
be displayed with a deteriorated picture quality.
This unit automatically adjusts the aperture during motion picture recording. At such times, a clicking
sound is heard, and this sound may be recorded on the motion pictures. This is not a malfunction.
White round spots like soap bubbles appear on the recorded picture.
If you take a picture with the flash in a dark place or indoors, white
round spots may appear on the picture caused by the flash reflecting of
particles of dust in the air. This is not a malfunction.
A characteristic of this is that the number of round spots and their
position differ in every picture.
[THUMBNAIL IS DISPLAYED] appears on the screen.
A clicking sound is recorded in the motion pictures.

The AF assist lamp does not turn on in bright places.
The surface of the camera may become warm during use. This does not affect the performance
or quality of the camera.
When the brightness changes due to zoom or camera movement etc., the lens may click and
the picture on the screen may drastically change. However, the picture is not affected. The
sound is caused by the automatic adjustment of the aperture. This is not a malfunction.
If you do not use the camera for a long time, the clock may be reset.

take a picture before setting the clock, [0:00 0. 0. 0] is recorded. (P21)
At some magnification levels, the pictures taken are slightly distorted or the outlines and other
areas in the pictures taken are coloured, but this is not a malfunction.
When using the extra optical zoom, the zooming action will stop temporarily near [W]. This is
not a malfunction.
