About batteries that you can use with this unit
Supplied battery or dedicated optional batteries (DMW-BCF10E) can be used with
this camera.
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 fi re 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.
• Use the dedicated charger and battery.
•
The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used safely. The
dedicated battery supports this function. The only batteries suitable for use with this unit are
genuine Panasonic products and batteries manufactured by other companies and certifi ed
by Panasonic. (Batteries which do not support this function cannot be used). Panasonic
cannot in any way guarantee the quality, performance or safety of batteries which have been
manufactured by other companies and are not genuine Panasonic products.
