    About the recording format for 
    recording motion pictures
    You can select from AVCHD, iFrame or MP4 
    recording formats to record motion pictures 
    using this unit. ( l41)
    AVCHD:
    It is suitable for viewing on a high-definition TV 
    or for saving to disc.
    iFrame:
    This is a recording format suitable for playing 
    back or editing on Mac (iMovie etc.).
    ≥ It is not compatible with motion pictures 
    recorded in AVCHD format.
    MP4:
    This is a recording format suitable for playing 
    back or editing on a PC.
    ≥ It is not compatible with motion pictures 
    recorded in AVCHD format.
    ∫ Indemnity about recorded 
    content
    Panasonic does not accept any responsibility 
    for damages directly or indirectly due to any 
    type of problems that result in loss of recording 
    or edited content, and does not guarantee any 
    content if recording or editing does not work 
    properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a 
    case where any type of repair is made to the 
    unit.
    ∫About Condensation (When 
    the lens or the LCD monitor is 
    fogged up)
    Condensation occurs when there is a change in 
    temperature or humidity, such as when the unit 
    is taken from outside or a cold room to a warm 
    room. Please be careful, as it may cause the 
    lens or LCD monitor to become soiled, moldy, 
    or damaged.
    When taking the unit to a place which has a 
    different temperature, if the unit is accustomed 
    to the room temperature of the destination for 
    about one hour, condensation can be 
    prevented. (When the difference in temperature 
    is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the 
    like, remove air from the bag, and seal the bag.)
    When condensation has occurred, remove the 
    battery and/or the AC adapter and leave the 
    unit like that for about one hour. When the unit 
    becomes accustomed to the surrounding 
    temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally.
    ∫Cards that you can use with 
    this unit
    SD Memory Card, SDHC Memory Card and 
    SDXC Memory Card
    ≥4 GB or more Memory Cards that do not have 
    the SDHC logo or 48 GB or more Memory 
    Cards that do not have the SDXC logo are 
    not based on SD Memory Card 
    Specifications.

    cards.

    Preparation
    Power supply
    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.
    Removing the batteryBe sure to hold down the power button until the 
    status indicator goes off. Then remove the 
    battery while supporting the unit to prevent it 
    from dropping.
    Move the battery release lever in the 
    direction indicated by the arrow and remove 
    the battery when unlocked.
