• Do not press the monitor with excessive force. Uneven colours may appear on the monitor and 
it may malfunction.
• If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the Monitor/Viewfinder will be slightly 
darker than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal 
temperature of the camera increases.
• Do not press the lens with excessive force.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it 
to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
• When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the lens, the picture may 
be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking 
pictures.
• To prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on or entering 
the lens, attach the lens rear cap when the lens is not in use.
• To protect the lens contact points A, do not place the lens with its 
mount surface facing down. In addition, do not allow the lens contact 
points to become dirty.
• To improve the dust- and splash-proof performance, the mount of the 
interchangeable lens (H-FS12060) is embedded with the lens mount 
rubber. If you change the lens repeatedly, friction with the lens mount rubber may leave 
scratches on the camera’s mount. However, those scratches do not affect the performance of 
this unit. For the replacement of the lens mount rubber, contact Panasonic.
About the Monitor/Viewfinder
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 pictures 
on a card.
