Notes on charging time
When using the AC adaptor (supplied)
Charging time Approx. 210 min
 • The charging time indicated above is the time required for charging in case when the 
battery is completely used up. The time required for charging differs depending on 
conditions of battery usage. Charging takes longer in cases when temperatures are 
either high or low and when the battery has not been used for a long period of time.
 • The time required for charging through the computer varies depending on the 
specifications of the computer.
 ●
Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one or a genuine 
Panasonic USB connection cable (optional). Doing so may cause malfunction of the 
camera.
 ●
Do not use any other AC adaptors except the supplied one.
 ●
Do not use a USB extension cable.
 ●
The AC adaptor (supplied) and the USB connection cable (supplied) are dedicated 
accessories of this camera. Do not use them for other devices.
 ●
If there is any trouble related to the electrical outlet (i.e. power failure), charging may 
not complete properly. Disconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and reconnect 
it to the camera.
 ●
If the charging lamp does not light or flashes even when the camera is properly 
connected to the AC adaptor (supplied) or your computer, charging has been put in 
pause status because the temperature is not in the appropriate range for charging. 
This is not a malfunction. Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and retry 
charging in a place where ambient temperature is 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) 
(temperature conditions also apply to the battery itself).
