1. Introduction
Before Use
Firmware of Your Camera/Lens
Firmware updates may be provided in order to improve camera capabilities or to add
functionality. For smoother recording, we recommend updating the firmware of the
camera/lens to the latest version.
• 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/
(English only)
• To check the firmware version of the camera/lens, attach the lens to the camera
and select [Version Disp.] in the [Setup] menu.
• This document provides explanations for camera firmware version 1.0.
Handling of the Camera
When using the camera, be careful not to drop it, bump it, or apply
undue force. These may cause malfunction or damage to the camera
and lens.
The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.
Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or
where water can come into contact with the camera.
If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the monitor,
wipe them off with a dry soft cloth.
– Touch operations may be incorrectly recognized.
Do not place a hand inside the camera mount.
This may cause a failure or damage because the sensor is a
precision device.
