Before Use

Care of the camera

∫Handling of the camera (to prevent water leakage and malfunction)

•Foreign objects may adhere to the inner side of the side door

(around the rubber seal or connecting terminals) when the side door

is opened or closed in places with sand or dust etc. This may result

in the impairment of the waterproof performance if the side door is

closed with foreign objects adhered. Be extremely careful since it

may result in malfunction etc.

•If any foreign object is adhered to the inner side of the side door,

remove with the supplied brush.

•If any liquid such as water droplets is adhered to the camera or inner

side of the side door, wipe off with a soft dry cloth. Do not open or

close the side door near the water, when underwater, using wet

hands, or when the camera is wet. It may cause water leakage.

Do not apply strong shock or vibration by dropping or knocking

the camera. Also, do not apply strong pressure to the camera.

e.g.:

–Sit down with the camera in your trousers pocket or forcefully insert it

into a full or tight bag, etc.

–Attach any items such as accessories to the strap attached to the

camera.

–When strong pressure is applied using the camera at a depth exceeding

12 m (40 feet).

•Waterproof performance may be impaired.

•Lens or LCD monitor may be damaged.

•It may cause malfunction in the performance or the function.

Please be sure to read “(Important) About the Waterproof/Dustproof and Anti-shock

Performance of the Camera” (P8) before using this unit underwater to prevent the unit

from being mishandled, which may cause water to seep in.

- 6 -

Before Use

∫When inner side of the lens is fogged (condensation)

It is not a malfunction or failure of the camera. It may be

caused by the environment in which the camera is used.

What to do when inner side of the lens is fogged

•Turn off the power and open the side door in a place with constant

ambient temperature, away from high temperatures, humidity,

sand and dust. The fog will disappear naturally in 10 minutes to

2 hours with the side door open when the temperature of the

camera gets close to the ambient temperature.

•Contact Panasonic’s Service Center if the fogging does not

disappear.

Conditions in which inner side of the lens may be fogged

Condensation may occur and the inner side of the lens may be fogged when the camera is

used in areas that undergo a significant change in temperature or in high humidity, such as

the following:

•When the camera is used underwater suddenly after being on a hot beach etc.

•When the camera is moved to a warm area from a cold area, such as at a ski resort or at

high altitude

•When the side door is opened in a high-humidity environment

Before Use

About the location name information of this unit

Please read the “User License Agreement for Location Name data” on P167 before using.

When [GPS Setting] is set to [ON], GPS function will operate even when the power

is turned off.

•Electromagnetic waves etc. from this unit may affect other electronic devices, so set

[GPS Setting] to [OFF] or [ ] and turn the power of the unit off during plane takeoff or

landing, or in an area where use is prohibited. (P84)

•Battery power is consumed even if the power is turned off when [GPS Setting] is set to [ON].

About the information of recording location

•Location names of the recording locations or landmarks (such as name of the building etc.) are

as of December 2010. Information will not be updated.

•Depending on the country or the region, there may be less information for location names and

landmark names.

About the positioning

•It will take longer for positioning in an environment where it is harder to receive the radio waves

from the GPS satellites. (P83)

•Even if the receiving condition of the radio waves is excellent, it may take 2 to 3 minutes

to complete the positioning when performing positioning for the first time or when you

perform positioning after turning on the power again after turning the power off with the

[GPS Setting] set to [ ] or [OFF].

•The positions of the GPS satellites are changing constantly, so positioning may not be

performed or the information may have errors depending on the recording location or

conditions.

When used during overseas travel etc.

•The GPS may not operate in China or close to the Chinese border in neighbouring countries.

(As of December 2010)

•The usage of GPS, etc., may be restricted depending on the country or the region. This camera

has a GPS function, so check with the embassies or travel agencies etc. prior to your overseas

travel regarding any restrictions on cameras with a built-in GPS function.

•Information measured on this unit is only a rough indication. Do not use it for technical

purposes.

•When using this unit for full-scale mountain climbing, trekking, or underwater, use the

measured information (bearing, altitude, depth, atmospheric pressure) only as a rough

indication, and always carry a map and purpose-built measurement tools.

Before Use

(Important) About the Waterproof/Dustproof and

Anti-shock Performance of the Camera

This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all

conditions.

¢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.

¢2 “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock” is the test method standard of the U.S. Defense

Department, which specifies performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm (4.0 feet), at

26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of devices, and passing the

26 orientation drops within 5 devices. (If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to

pass the drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices)

Panasonic’s test method is based on the above “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”.

However, the drop height was changed from 122 cm (4.0 feet) to 200 cm (6.6 feet) dropping

onto 3 cm (0.10 feet) thick plyboard. This drop test was passed.

(Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or distortion of the part where drop

impact is applied.)

∫Handling of the camera

•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’s Service Center to verify that the waterproofing is still effective.

•When the camera is splashed with detergent, soap, hot spring, bath additive, sun oil, sun

screen, chemical, etc., wipe it off immediately.

•Waterproof function of the camera is for sea water and fresh water only.

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

warranty.

•The inside of this unit is not waterproof. Water leakage will cause malfunction.

•Supplied accessories are not waterproof (excluding strap).

•Card and battery are not waterproof. Do not handle with a wet hand. Also, do not insert wet

card or battery into the camera.

•Do not leave the camera for a long period of time in places where temperature is very low (at

ski resorts or at high altitude etc.) or very high [above 40 oC (104 °F)], inside a car under strong

sunlight, close to a heater, on the beach, etc. Waterproof performance may be degraded.

Waterproof/Dustproof Performance

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 12 m (40 feet) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes. (¢1)

Anti-shock Performance

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)

About the declination adjustment

Earth is a giant magnet with the S-pole at the North Pole and the N-pole at the South

Pole, and the magnetism the Earth has is called “geomagnetism”. There is a difference

between the angle of the north that a magnetic compass points to and the geographical

“true north” due to the effect of the “geomagnetism”. The difference between these

angles is called “declination”.

The compass in this unit will point to “true north” by automatically correcting the

“declination” with a built-in magnetic sensor.

•The declination adjustment of this unit is performed by the latitude/longitude

information acquired by the positioning of the GPS. It is recommended to update the

current latitude/longitude by frequently performing the positioning since there may

be a significant difference in declination due to traveling depending on the location.
