There is a possibility that these battery packs may lead to fire 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 (DMW-BCJ13PP) supports this function. The only batteries suitable for use with this unit are genuine Panasonic products and batteries manufactured by other companies and certified by
