Monitor/Viewfinder
0 Do not push hard on the monitor.
This may cause irregular coloration or malfunction.
0 If the camera gets cold in the cold place, the picture on the monitor/viewfinder will be
slightly darker than usual at first when you turn the camera on.
When the interior of the camera warms up, this will return to normal brightness.
0 Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the Monitor/Viewfinder
screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the
screen. This is not a malfunction.
Though the Monitor/Viewfinder screen parts are produced with highly controlled
precision technology, some pixels may be inactive or always lit.
The spots will not be recorded on images on a card.

Lens
0 Do not push hard on the lens surface.
0 Do not aim the lens at the sun or strong light sources.
The concentrated light may cause fire or damage.
0 Soiling on the lens surface (water, oil, fingerprints, etc.) may impact image quality.
Before and after use, lightly wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry cloth.
0 When the camera is not being used, attach the lens cap and lens rear cap to prevent
dust and dirt from adhering to or entering the camera.
0 To protect the lens contact points A, do not do the
following.
These may cause a malfunction.
– Touch the lens contact points.
– Soil the lens contact points.
– Place the lens with its mount surface facing
down.
0 To improve the dust and splash resistant
performance of the interchangeable lens
(S-R24105), a lens mount rubber is used in the mount.
– The lens mount rubber will leave scuff marks on the digital camera mount, but this
does not impact performance.
– To replace the lens mount rubber, contact Panasonic.
