Cautions for Use
•This camera has a waterproof/dustproof function equivalent to IP68. It is possible to take 
pictures in 12 m (40 feet) depth for 60 minutes.¢1
¢1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified pressure 
in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic. This does not guarantee 
no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.
•Supplied accessories are not waterproof (excluding strap).•The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 2 m (6.6 feet) onto 3 cm (0.10 feet) thick 
plywood, which is compliant with “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”.¢2
¢2 This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.
Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result of being hit or 
dropped etc.
•When an impact is applied to the camera, it is recommended to consult the dealer or your 
nearest Service Center, and perform a checkup (subject to a fee) to see if the waterproofing 
has been retained properly.
•Using the camera in environments where splashing  with hot spring water, oil or alcohol is likely 
to occur may cause the water/dust resistance and impact resistance of the camera to 
deteriorate.
•Malfunction caused by exposure to water due  to mishandling by the customer will not be 
covered by the warranty.
For more detail, refer to “(Important) About the Waterproof/Dustproof and 
Anti-shock Performance of the Camera”  (P8).
•
It may cause injury to the skin if you directly touch the metal parts of the unit in places 
where temperature is very low [environments under 0 oC (32 oF), such as ski resorts or 
places at high altitude] for a long period of time.
Use gloves or similar when using it for long periods.
•The performance of the battery (number of recordable pictures/operating time) may decrease 
temporarily when using in a temperature between  j10 oC to 0 oC (14oF to 32oF) (cold places 
such as ski resorts or places at high altitude).
•The battery cannot be recharged in a temperature less than 0 oC (32 oF). (The [CHARGE] 
indicator blinks when the battery cannot be recharged.)
•If the camera gets very cold in cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude, 
performance of the LCD monitor may temporarily drop immediately after turning the power on, 
e.g. the picture on the LCD monitor being slightly darker than usual or ghost images appearing. 
Keep the camera warm when using in a cold environment. The performance will resume as 
normal when the internal temperature rises.
•If the camera is used in cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude with snow or 
water droplets adhered to the camera, some parts of the camera may become hard to move or 
the sound may become dim with snow or water droplets freezing in the gap of the zoom button, 
the camera [OFF/ON] button, speakers, and microphone. This is not a malfunction.
•When the camera is used in a cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude, keep 
the camera warm by placing it in a warm place such as inside your cold protection gear or 
clothing.
