(Important) About the Waterproof/

Dustproof and Anti-shock Performance of

the Camera

•Please observe the following precautions, and avoid using this camera in any

situation where the camera is subject to high water pressure. This camera’s

waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the “IPX8” and “IP6X” ratings.

Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described in this document are

strictly followed, this camera can operate underwater, to a depth not exceeding

10 m (33 feet) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes.¢1

•This camera also complies with “MIL-STD 810F (Method 516.5-Shock)”. The

camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 2 m (6.6 feet) onto 3 cm

(0.10 feet) thick plywood. In most cases this camera should not sustain any

damage if dropped from a height not exceeding 2 m (6.6 feet).¢2

•Supplied accessories are not waterproof (excluding hand strap/silicon jacket).

¢1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for a 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.

¢2 This doesnot guarantee no destruction, no malfunction,or waterproofing in all

conditions.

Observe the following precautions and avoid using under water pressure

exceeding the guaranteed performance, and in an environment with

excessive dust or sand.

Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result

of being hit or dropped etc.

If an impact to the camera occurs, it should be inspected (subject to a fee) by

a Panasonic Service Center to verify that the waterproofing is still effective.

Any malfunction caused by customer misuse, or mishandling will not be

covered by the warranty.

Note

•The picture can become whitish if there is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens.

When it is dirty, lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft and dry cloth.
