12. Others The subject appears distorted on the picture. • If you record a moving subject when using the electronic shutter or recording motion picture or a 4K photo, the subject may appear distorted on the picture. This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is not a malfunction. Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED lighting fixture. • This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors.
12. Others Motion pictures This unit suddenly turns off during recording. • The camera stops operating for self-protection in the manner described below when overheated due to, for example, high ambient temperature or continuous motion picture recording. Wait until the camera cools down. – Continuous recording, motion picture recording, and the Wi-Fi connection will be temporarily disabled.
12. Others Monitor The Monitor turns off although the camera is turned on. • If no operations are performed during the set time period, [Auto Monitor Off] (P212) is activated, and the Monitor turns off. It may flicker for an instant or the brightness of the screen may change significantly for an instant. • This occurs due to the aperture of the lens changing when the shutter button is pressed halfway, or when the brightness of the subject changes. This is not a malfunction.
12. Others Wi-Fi function A Wi-Fi connection cannot be established. Radio waves get disconnected. Wireless access point is not displayed. ∫ General tips for using a Wi-Fi connection • Use within the communication range of the device to be connected. • Is any device, such as microwave oven, cordless phone, etc., that uses 2.4 GHz frequency operated nearby? > Radio waves may get interrupted when used simultaneously. Use them sufficiently away from the device.
12. Others The PC is not recognised when I use a Wi-Fi connection. The camera cannot be connected to PC via Wi-Fi connection. • The default workgroup name is set to “WORKGROUP”. If you changed the workgroup name, the PC will not be recognised. In [Change Workgroup Name] in [PC Connection] of the [Wi-Fi Setup] menu, change the workgroup name to that of the PC you are connecting to. (P275) • Please confirm login name and password are correctly typed.
12. Others TV, PC and printer The picture does not appear on the television. • Is the camera connected to the TV correctly? (P279) > Set the TV input to external input mode.

12. Others Others The shutter remains closed when the camera is turned off (including Sleep Mode). • If the camera is shaken, it may cause the shutter to close. This is not a malfunction. Do not put your finger in the mount. Turning on the camera will re-open the shutter. When I shake the camera, I hear a rattling sound from the attached lens. • Depending on the lens you attach, it may move inside and create a sound. This is not a malfunction. The camera makes a noise when this unit is turned on.
12. Others Cautions for Use Optimal use of the camera Keep this unit as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.). • If you use this unit on top of or near a TV, the pictures and/or sound on this unit may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation. • Do not use this unit near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the pictures and/or sound.
12. Others Cleaning Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC coupler (optional), 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.
12. Others About the Monitor • Do not press the monitor with excessive force. Uneven colours may appear on the monitor and it may malfunction. • If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the 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. Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the Monitor screen.
12. Others Battery 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. • Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or keep away from metallic objects (clips, etc.).
12. Others About 3D ∫ About 3D recording With the 3D interchangeable lens attached, do not record a subject at less than the minimum focus distance. • The 3D effects may be more pronounced, and therefore cause tiredness or discomfort. • When the 3D interchangeable lens (H-FT012: optional) is used, the minimum focus distance is 0.6 m (2.0 feet). When recording with the 3D interchangeable lens attached, be careful not to shake the unit.
12. Others About the personal information If a name or birthday is set for [Profile Setup]/Face Recognition function, this personal information is kept in the camera and recorded in the image. We recommend that you enable [Wi-Fi Password] and [Wi-Fi Function Lock] to protect personal information. (P275 , 276) Disclaimer • Information including personal information may be altered or vanish due to erroneous operation, effect of static electricity, accident, malfunction, repair, or other handlings.
12. Others About the picture data • Recorded data may be damaged or lost if the camera breaks down due to inappropriate handling. Panasonic will not be liable for any damage caused due to loss of recorded data. About tripods or unipods • 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 or unipod.
12. Others ∫ Do not use the camera in areas with magnetic fields, static electricity or interference • Do not use the camera in areas with magnetic fields, static electricity or interference, such as near microwave ovens. These may cause the interruption of the radio waves. • Using the camera near devices such as microwave ovens or cordless telephones that use the 2.4 GHz radio wave band may cause a decrease in performance in both devices.
