• Do not push hard on the monitor.
This may cause irregular coloration or malfunction.

darker than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal
temperature of the camera increases.
• Do not push hard on the lens surface.
• Do not aim the lens at the sun or strong light sources.
The concentrated light may cause fire or damage.
• Soiling on the lens surface (water, oil, fingerprints, etc.) may impact image quality.
Before and after use, lightly wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry cloth.
• When the camera is not being used, attach the lens cap and lens rear cap to prevent dust and
dirt from adhering to or entering the camera.
• To protect the lens contact points A, do not do the following.
These may cause a malfunction.

• To improve the dust and splash resistant performance of the
interchangeable lens (H-FS12060/H-FSA14140), a lens mount rubber is
used in the mount.
– The lens mount rubber will leave scuff marks on the digital camera mount, but this does not
impact performance.
– To replace the lens mount rubber, contact Panasonic.
Monitor/Viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the Monitor/
Viewfinder screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or
green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. Though the Monitor/Viewfinder
screen parts are produced with highly controlled precision technology, some
pixels may be inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures
on a card.
