Cautions for Use
•Please also refer to the “Owner’s Manual for advanced features (PDF format)”, which describes 
more detailed information.
Keep this unit as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as 
microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
Do not use this unit near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
•
If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and/or sound 
may be adversely affected.
Always use the supplied cords and cables.
If you use optional accessories, use the cords and the cables supplied with them.
Do not extend the cords or the cables.
Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.
•
If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the 
surface finish may peel off.
Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC coupler (DMW-DCC12: 
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.
•Wipe off any dirt or dust on the zoom ring and the focus ring with a dry, dustless 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.
•When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.
∫About dirt on the image sensor
This camera features an interchangeable lens system so dirt may get inside the camera 
body when changing lenses. Depending on the recording conditions, dirt on the image 
sensor may appear on the recorded picture.
To prevent debris or dust adhering to internal parts of the body, avoid changing the lens in 
a dusty environment and always fit the body cap or a lens when storing the camera. 
Remove any dirt on the body cap before attaching it.
Optimal use of the camera
Cleaning
Dust reduction function
This unit has a dust reduction function that will blow off the debris and dust that have 
affixed to the front of the imaging device.
This function will function automatically when the camera is turned on, but if you see 
dust, perform the [Sensor Cleaning] in the [Setup] menu.

Removing dirt on the image sensor
The image sensor is very precise and delicate, so be sure to observe the following when 
you do have to clean it yourself.
•
Blow off the dust on the surface of the image sensor with a commercially available blower 
brush. Be careful not to blow too strongly.
•Do not put the blower brush further inside than the lens mount.
•Do not let the blower brush touch the image sensor as the image sensor may get scratched.•Do not use any objects except a blower brush to clean the image sensor.
•If you cannot remove the dirt or dust with the blower, consult the dealer or Panasonic.
∫For care of the viewfinder/eye cup
•
Do not press the lens with excessive force.•Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it 
to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
•When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the lens, the picture may 
be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking 
pictures.
•Do not place the lens mount facing downwards. Do not allow the 
lens mount contacts A to become dirty.
•Before you remove stains on the viewfiner 
and eyecup or start other types of cleaning, 
remove the eyecup ( 1
). Blow away the dust 
on the viewfinder surface with a blower 
(commercially available), and wipe the 
surface lightly with a dry, soft cloth. Attach 
the eye cup after the cleaning ( 2
).
•Be careful not to lose the eye cup.
•Keep the eye cup out of reach of children to 
prevent swallowing.
