Introduction
Before Use
Firmware of Your Camera/Lens
Firmware updates may be provided in order to improve camera capabilities or to add
functionality.
Make sure that the firmware of the camera / lens you purchased is the latest version.
We recommend using the latest firmware version.
• To check the firmware version of the camera/lens, attach the lens to the camera
and select [Firmware Version] in the [Setup] ([Others]) menu. You can also update
the firmware in [Firmware Version].
• For the latest information on the firmware or to download/update
the firmware, visit the following support site:

to "Operating Instructions <Complete Guide>" for the changes after a firmware
update. (3)
Handling of the Camera
When using the camera, take care not to drop it, bump it, or apply undue force.
These may cause malfunction or damage to the camera and lens.
If sand, dust, or liquid gets on the monitor, wipe it off with a dry soft cloth.
– Touch operations may be incorrectly recognized.
When using in low temperatures (–10 °C to 0 °C (14 °F to 32 °F))
– Before use, attach a Panasonic lens with a minimum recommended operating
temperature of –10 °C (14 °F).
Do not place a hand inside the camera mount.
This may cause a failure or damage because the sensor is a precision device.
The sensor can move, making a rattling noise, when the camera is shaken while
it is off. This is caused by the image stabilizer mechanism in the body. It is not
a malfunction.
