Operating precautions
Do not allow any water to get into the camerarecorder when using it in the rain or snow or at the beach.
• Failure to heed this caution will cause the camera-recorder or a card to malfunction (and may result in irreparable damage).
Keep the camera-recorder away from equipment (such as TV sets and video game machines) that generate magnetic fields.
• Using the camera-recorder on top of or near a
•
TV set may cause distortion in the images and/or sound due to the electromagnetic waves that the set emits.
The powerful magnetic fields generated by
•
• speakers or large motors may damage your recordings or distort the images.
The electromagnetic waves emitted from a microcomputer will adversely affect the camerarecorder, causing the images and/or sound to be distorted.
If the camera-recorder is so adversely affected by products that generate magnetic fields that it no longer operates properly, turn it off and remove the battery or unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet. Then install the battery again or reconnect the AC adapter. After this, turn the camera-recorder back on.
Do not use the camera-recorder near radio transmitters or high-voltage equipment.
• Using the camera-recorder near a radio transmitter or high-voltage equipment may adversely affect the recorded images and/or sound.
Do not allow any sand or dust to get into the camera-recorder when using it at the beach and other similar places.
• Sand and dust can damage the camera-recorder or a card. (Be especially careful when inserting or removing a card.)
AC adapter and battery
• If the CHARGE lamp continues to blink even when the battery temperature is normal, there may be something wrong with the battery or AC
•
• adapter. Contact your dealer.
The battery takes longer to charge when it is warm.
The AC adapter can interfere with radio reception so keep radios at least 1 meter away from it.
• The AC adapter may make some noise when you are using it, but this is normal.
Take precautions not to drop the camera when moving it.
• Strong impacts may damage the camera and cause it to stop working.
• Handle the camera with care, using the hand strap or shoulder strap to carry it.
Do not spray the camera with insect sprays or other volatile substances.
• These can warp the camera or cause the finish to come off.
• Do not leave the camera-recorder in contact with rubber or PVC products for extended periods of time.
After use, remove the battery and disconnect the AC power supply cable.
Battery characteristics
This camera-recorder uses a rechargeable lithiumion battery that uses its internal chemical reaction to generate electrical energy. This reaction is easily influenced by the ambient temperature and humidity, and the battery’s effective operating time is reduced as the temperature rises or falls. In very low temperatures, the battery may last only 5 minutes.
Protective circuitry functions if you use the battery where it is very hot and you will have to wait before you can use it again.
Remove the battery after use.
Completely remove the battery. (The battery continues to be used even if you have turned the camera off.) The battery can over discharge if you leave it in the camera and it may become impossible to recharge it.
Disposing of spent batteries
The battery will become unchargeable. Rather than throwing the battery into the garbage, take it to a store that can assist in recycling it.

Operating precautions (continued)
What to remember when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others
Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the unit or a computer will merely change the file management information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards. When throwing these cards away or transferring them to others, either physically destroy them or use a data deletion program for computers (commercially available) to completely erase the data. Users are responsible for managing the data on their memory cards.
Liquid crystal displays
• Images or letters can get burned onto the screen of the LCD or viewfinder if they are displayed for a long time, but you can fix this by leaving the
• camera off for several hours.
The liquid crystal parts are highly precise with
99.99% of the pixels effective. This leaves less than 0.01% of pixels that may not light or may
•
• remain on all the time. These phenomena are normal and will have no effect on the images you shoot.
Condensation may form if you use the camera where temperatures fluctuate. Wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.
The LCD may appear dim after immediately turning on a cold camera, but will brighten as the camera warms up.
Do not point the lens or viewfinder at the sun.
Doing so may damage the parts inside.
Protective caps for the connectors
Keep the protective caps fitted over any connectors that are not being used.
Precaution for use
Always take some trial shots before actual shooting.
• When shooting important events (such as weddings), always take some trial shots and check that the sound and images have been recorded properly before actual shooting.
Be sure to check and set the calendar and time zone.
• These settings affect the control and playback sequence of the recorded contents. Before making a recording, set and check the calendar and time zone. (Page 32)
Panasonic makes no guarantees for your recordings.
• Please understand that Panasonic makes no guarantees for your recordings in cases where images and/ or sound were not recorded as you intended due to problems with the camera-recorder or SD/SDHC
Memory Cards.
Respect copyrights
• Copyright laws forbid the use of video and audio material you have recorded for any purpose other than your own personal enjoyment. Remember that restrictions apply to the shooting of certain material even if it is intended for private use.
Media that can be used in this unit
• SD/SDHC Memory Cards can be used in this unit. For details, refer to page 12.
Mounting the camera-recorder on a tripod
• The tripod mounting hole is 5.5 mm deep. Do not force the tripod screw beyond this depth.
You can damage the camera-recorder if you use any screw other than 1/4-20UNC.
Attach the tripod to the tripod hole.
For other usage notes, see page 9.

This is the highest quality mode of this camera.
• This camera uses the VBR recording system. “VBR” stands for Variable Bit Rate, and it refers to a system in which the bit rate (volume of data per given time period) varies automatically depending on the subject which is
•
• being shot. This means that the recording times will be shorter when fast-moving subjects have been recorded.
Times displayed include time needed for processing, etc. – actual available recording times will be slightly shorter.
The camera is capable of continuous recording for a maximum of 12 hours.
Mosaic-like noise may appear on the playback screen under the following shooting conditions:
When there are complex patterns in the background
When the camera is moved in large motions or when it is moved very quickly
When a fast-moving subject has been recorded (and especially when HE has been set as the recording mode)
Repeatedly recording or deleting images over and over again may reduce the recording time on the SD
Memory Card. In such cases, format the SD Memory Card using the camera. When a card is formatted, all of its recorded data will be erased, and it will not be subsequently possible to restore this data. Save any valuable data on your PC prior to formatting.
Removing SD Memory Card

• With artificial lighting and especially fluorescent lights and mercury-vapor lamps, the luminance changes in synchronization with the power line frequency. When this frequency is 50 Hz, mutual interference will occur between the camera-recorder’s vertical sync frequency (approx. 60 Hz) and the lighting frequency (50 Hz). This means that the white balance may change periodically.
Before shooting in areas with artificial lighting or adjusting the white balance, set the shutter speed as follows.

Under fluorescent and other discharge tube lighting, horizontal bands may appear on the display.
Adjusting the shutter speed in such cases may resolve the problem.
When shooting subjects moving quickly across the screen, the image may be distorted. This is a result of the readout method of the pickup device (MOS sensor), and is not a malfunction.
White, red, blue, and green spots may appear on the display when using slow shutter speeds. This is not a malfunction.

[Recommended temperature range: 15°C to 25°C
(59 °F to 77 °F )]
[Recommended relative humidity: 40% to 60%]
Camera-recorder
• Wrap the camera-recorder in a soft cloth to keep the dust off.
Battery
• The battery life is shortened in places with
• extreme temperatures.
Storing the battery in a location with oily vapors
• or high dust concentrations may corrode the terminals or cause other damage, leading to malfunction.
Keep metal objects (such as necklaces and hairpins) away from the terminals.
Short-circuiting may occur across the terminals, causing the battery to heat up, and you may seriously burn yourself if you touch the battery in this state.

How to handle data recorded on SD Memory Card
Data recorded in AVCHD format offers excellent compatibility with computers due to the file type, but since this format includes not only video and audio data, but also a variety of important information, the folder structure will consist of file associations as illustrated in the diagram on the right. If even part of this information is modified or deleted, the data may no longer be recognized as
Drive: \
PRIVATE
AVCHD
AVCHDTN
BDMV
AVCHD data, or the memory card may not longer be able to be used with AVCHD devices.
To prevent the loss of any part of the information when transferring data on the SD Memory Card to a computer or when copying data stored on a computer back onto the SD Memory Card, be sure to use the dedicated AVCCAM Viewer.
The AVCCAM Viewer can be downloaded from the following website.
Both a Windows version and a Mac version are available.

Concerning the handling of the camera’s metadata
A special manufacturer area in the control file area under the AVCHD standard is employed for the metadata which is supported by this camera.
If files are deleted or copied, if clip protection is added or removed or if other such editing operations have been performed using editing software or a camera recorder which does not support this camera’s metadata, the special area for the metadata will be erased, and the shot marks added by the camera as well as the PH mode information and other information will be lost. Therefore, before proceeding with these kinds of editing operations, check whether the camera’s metadata is supported.
