When not using the camera for a long period of time
• Store the batteries in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C, Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
• Always remove the batteries and the card from the camera.
• If the batteries are left inserted in the camera they will discharge as a weak electric
current passes through them even if the camera is turned off. [Read P86 for information
about Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) batteries.]
• We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a
closet or a cabinet.
About the picture data

handling. Panasonic will not be liable for any damage suffered due to loss of recorded data.
About tripods
• 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 battery when using a tripod.
• Make sure that the screw on the tripod is not at an angle when attaching or detaching
the camera. You may damage the screw on the camera if you use excessive force when
turning it. Also, the camera body and the rating label may be damaged or scratched if
the camera is attached too tightly to the tripod.
• Read the operating instructions for the tripod carefully.
• Some tripods cannot be attached when the DC coupler (optional: P9) is connected.
