Care of this Camera

To avoid damaging your camera and to experience the maximum enjoyment you
should exercise the following precautions.
• The lens, monitor and the camera body can sustain damage if the camera body is dropped or
subjected to excessive temperature, moisture, water or dust.
• The monitor can be damaged if excessive pressure is applied to the screen surface, during
actual use or while cleaning.

∫ Splash Proof
Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this camera offers
against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash Proof does not
guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with
water.
In order to minimise the possibility of damage please be sure the following precautions are
taken:
– The Splash Proof feature works in conjunction with the H-HS12035 and H-HS35100 lenses
that were specifically designed to support this feature.
– Make sure the built-in flash is closed.
– Make sure that all doors, socket caps and terminal covers are securely closed.
– Make sure that you are in a dry and secure place when changing the battery, lens or memory
card. After changing, make sure their protective doors are securely closed.
– If this camera is exposed to water, sand or any other foreign material clean it as soon as
possible, taking the necessary precautions that the foreign substance does not get inside the
camera.
– Under no circumstances should you touch or place any foreign objects within the camera or
in close proximity of the camera’s image sensor.

∫ Condensation
• Condensation may occur on the lens, monitor or in the viewfinder when the room temperature
or humidity changes rapidly. This may cause the image to temporarily become hazy. If this
occurs, turn the camera off and allow the camera to sit in a temperature stable environment for
several minutes. It will clear by itself.
• If you know that you will be moving between areas where there will be a large change in
temperature or humidity, you can help prevent condensation forming on the camera by placing
the camera in a large plastic zipper bag, so condensation will form on the bag, not the camera.
Allow the temperature to stabilise before removing the camera from the bag.

About the operation sound that is produced when you stop recording
Since motion picture recording stops only after you press the motion picture button, the
sound of the operation may be noticeable. If the sound bothers you, try the following:
– Divide the last part of the motion picture using [Video Divide] (P74) in the [Playback]
menu.
The motion picture may not be divided near the very end of it. To avoid this, record
approximately 3 seconds longer.
– Set the camera to Creative Video Mode, and use a shutter remote control (optional) to
record motion pictures.

• Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [AVCHD] is 29 minutes 59 seconds.
• When the motion picture size is set to [FHD], [HD] or [VGA] in [MP4], you can continuously
record a motion picture up to 29 minutes 59 seconds or until the file size reaches 4 GB. You
can check the recordable time on the screen.
– Since the file size becomes larger with [FHD], recording with [FHD] will stop before 29
minutes 59 seconds.
• When the motion picture size is set to [4K] in [MP4], the maximum time to record motion
pictures continuously is 29 minutes 59 seconds.
You can continuously record a motion picture with its size set to [4K] in [MP4] without a pause
even if the motion picture exceeds 4 GB. However, the recorded content has to be played back
as multiple files.
• Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [MP4 (LPCM)]/[MOV] is 29 minutes
59 seconds.
Though a [MP4 (LPCM)]/[MOV] motion picture can be recorded continuously without a pause
even when its file size exceeds 4 GB, the recorded content is played back with multiple files.

• “ALL-Intra” refers to a data compression method
in which each frame is compressed. The file size
of motion pictures recorded in this method becomes larger, but this method can prevent the
loss of image quality because editing does not require re-encoding.
• What is bit rate
This is the volume of data for a definite period of time, and the quality becomes higher
when the number gets bigger.

describes more detailed information.

Optimal use of the camera

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.

Cleaning

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.

(ENG) VQT5H82 115
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 Others

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

• 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.

About the Lens

• 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.
