About batteries that you can use with this unit (as of February 2009)
The battery that can be used with this unit is DMW-BCG10PP.
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.
• Use the dedicated charger and battery.
•
Use of third party aftermarket batteries is not recommended. Such batteries may not include
internal safety design features that can protect the camera should the battery fail. Damage
resulting from the use of non-Panasonic batteries is not covered under the warranty.
• This camera has a function identifying batteries that can be used, and this function is
compatible with the dedicated battery (DMW-BCG10PP).
