[] About the Lens
• Do not press the lens or the lens barrel with excessive force.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as it may cause the camera to malfunction.
Also, be careful when you leave the camera outside or near a window.
[] About Condensation (When the lens
is fogged up)
• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes as described below. Be careful of condensation since it causes lens stains, fungus and camera malfunction.
- When the camera is taken from the cold outdoors to the warm indoors
- When the camera is taken from outside to inside an air-conditioned car
- When cool wind from an air conditioner etc. blows directly on the camera
- in humid places
• To prevent condensation, put the camera in a plastic bag until the temperature of the camera is close to the ambient temperature.
If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature.
Before Use
[] When not using the camera for a long
period of time
• Store the batteries in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F),
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
• Always remove the batteries and the card from the camera.
• if the batteries are left inserted in the camera they will discharge as a weak electric current passes through them even if the camera is turned off. [Read
P12 for information about Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) batteries.]
• We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a closet or a cabinet.
[] About cards that can be used in this unit

The batteries can leak and the following can occur: malfunctions
- The remaining battery power is not displayed accurately.
- The camera does not turn on.
Data written to the built-in memory or the card is damaged resulting in loss of the photographs.

Preparation
[] Proper Care and Handling of Batteries
Mishandling batteries may cause leakage, heat generation, fire or explosion.
Observe the following.
• Do not heat or expose to flame.
• Do not splash batteries with water/sea water or wet battery terminals.
• Do not peel off or scratch the covering on batteries.
• Do not drop, throw or subject batteries to other strong impacts.
• Do not use batteries that show signs of leakage, deformation, discoloration etc.
• Do not store batteries in high humidity areas or high temperatures.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• Always use 2 new batteries of the same type when replacing batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time.
• Batteries may heat up soon after you start using the unit. Turn the camera off and wait until the battery temperature decreases before removing them.
• Battery performance deteriorates and recording/playback time decreases when the ambient temperature is low [10 °C
(50 °F) or less]. This is particularly true when using oxyride or alkaline batteries
12
VQTIC63 so warm them in your pocket etc. before using them. Make sure that no metal objects such as a lighter are placed together with the batteries when warming them in your pocket.
• If there is grease or dirt on the battery poles, the recording/playback time may become extremely short. Before inserting the batteries, clean the battery terminals with a soft, dry cloth.

[] Ni-MH Batteries (Nickel Metal Hydride)
You can use Ni-MH batteries after charging them with a nickel metal hydride battery charger. However, improper handling of the batteries may cause leakage, heat generation, fire or explosion.
Observe the following.
• If rechargeable batteries are to be used, rechargeable batteries manufactured by
Panasonic are recommended.
• If there is dirt on the battery poles, you may not be able to charge normally.
Clean the battery poles and the battery recharger terminals with a soft, dry cloth.
• When charging batteries for the first time, or after having not used them for a long period of time, they may not charge fully.
This is a feature of Ni-MH batteries and is not a malfunction.
Battery performance will become normal after a few charges and discharges.
Preparation
• We recommend charging the batteries after they are fully discharged.
If you charge the batteries before they are fully discharged, it can reduce battery performance.

This is called "memory
• If "memory effect" occurs, continue using the batteries until the camera stops working and then charge them fully.
Battery performance will be restored after a few charges and discharges.
• Over time Ni-MH batteries naturally discharge and their capacity lowers even when they are not used.
• Once the batteries have reached full charge, do not continue to charge them.
• Do not peel off or scratch the covering on

[] How the extended
optical zoom
works
The extended optical zoom works by extracting the center of the picture and expanding it for a higher telephoto effect. So, for example, if you choose
[F_q] (3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 7M
(7 million) (DMC-LS75/DMC-LS70) or
6M (6 million) (DMC-LS60) CCD area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.
• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1 x) when the camera is turned on.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• The lens barrel (P9) extends or retracts according to the zoom position. Take care not to interrupt the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
• In motion picture mode [_], the zoom magnification is fixed to the value set at the start of recording.
3O
VQTIC63
• "EZ" is an abbreviation of [Extended optical Zoom].
• If you set a picture size that activates the extended optical zoom, the extended optical zoom icon [_'_] is displayed on the screen when you use the zoom function.
• The zoom will stop moving for an instant near [W] (1 ×) when the extended optical zoom is used. This is not a malfunction.
