Charging the Battery
∫ About batteries that you can use with this unit
•
Use the dedicated charger and battery.
• The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used safely. The
dedicated battery supports this function. The only batteries suitable for use with this
unit are genuine Panasonic products and batteries manufactured by other companies
and certified by Panasonic. (Batteries which do not support this function cannot be
used). Panasonic cannot in any way guarantee the quality, performance or safety of
batteries which have been manufactured by other companies and are not genuine
Panasonic products.
• The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery before use.
• Charge the battery with the charger indoors.
• Charge the battery in a temperature between 10 oC to 35 oC. (The battery temperature should
also be the same.)
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the
genuine product are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of these
battery packs are not adequately protected with internal protection to meet the
requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these
battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are not
liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit
battery pack. To ensure that safe products are used we would recommend that a
genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.
Attach the battery with
attention to the direction of the
battery.

The battery temperature is too high or too low. Please charge the battery again in a
temperature between 10 oC to 35 oC.
• 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. (Since characteristic swelling may occur.)
• 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 guideline
When you align the subject on the horizontal
and vertical guidelines 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.
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.
• Histograms are not displayed in the following cases.
– Intelligent Auto Mode
– Multi Playback
– Motion Picture Mode
– Playback zoom
– Calendar
– [PHOTO FRAME] in Scene Mode
– When the component cable is connected
A []:This is used when dividing the entire screen into 3k3 for taking pictures with a

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 too bright or too 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. Also, when [AUTO LCD OFF] is set, the LCD
monitor turns off, and the keypad light lights up.
• The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.

• 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 far, it takes longer to focus on it.

Taking a picture with Face Recognition function
Face Recognition is a function which finds a face resembling a registered face and
prioritizes focus and exposure automatically. Even if the person is located towards the
back or on the end of a line in a group photo, the camera can still take a clear picture.
•
The Face Recognition function includes the following.
In Recording Mode
–
Display of corresponding name when camera detects a registered
face
¢
(if name has been set for the registered face)
– The camera will remember the face that the picture is taken for many
times and display the registration screen automatically (if
[AUTO REGISTRATION] is set to [ON])
In Playback
Mode
– Display of name and age (if information has been registered)
– Selective playback of pictures chosen from pictures registered with Face Recognition
([CATEGORY PLAY] (P108))
¢ Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking
pictures is determined according to the order of registration.
Note

recognition of a person.
• Face Recognition may take more time to select and recognise distinctive facial features than
regular face detection.
• Even when face recognition information has been registered, pictures taken with [NAME] set to

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 hand 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
- 145 -
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 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.
•
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 against 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.
About the Lens

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 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 (3.28 feet) or more away from radios.
• 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.

• 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. (P45)
• The picture can become whitish if there is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens.
> When it is dirty, lightly wipe the surface of the lens with soft and dry cloth.
• Was this picture taken with the flash at the close range when the zoom was near [W] (1k)?
> Zoom in a little, and then take the pictures. (P40)
• Was this a picture taken in [PIN HOLE] in Scene Mode?
> Check that the exposure is correctly compensated. (P57)
• Setting the [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to faster speed might make the picture darker.
> Set the [MIN. SHTR SPEED] (P99) to slower speed.
> Set Auto Bracket (P58), [HI-SPEED BURST] (P68), [FLASH BURST] (P69) in Scene Mode
or [BURST] (P100) of the [REC] Mode menu to [OFF].
• The focus range varies depending on the Recording Mode.

• 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. (P92)
> Set [COLOR MODE] to [NATURAL]. (P101)
> 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.
• Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
> When you set the picture quality to [ ], [ ] or [ ], we recommend using a
high-speed card with “10MB/s” or greater displayed on the package.
> In the event that it stops even after using a “10MB/s” card or higher, the data writing speed
has deteriorated so it is recommended to make a backup and then format (P29).
• If the subject has different colours as the periphery, set the AF area to those colours specific to
the subject by aligning that area with the AF area. (P97)
• 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.
