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

∫ 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.)
