About the Batteries
∫ Usable batteries
¢The oxyride battery is a new type of
non-rechargeable battery developed by
Panasonic.
Oxyride batteries have higher power and
more stability to handle the higher load
on the batteries, compared to
conventional alkaline batteries.
Oxyride batteries are specially designed
to use with products as digital still
cameras, that place more load on the
batteries.
• It is necessary to select the type of
batteries according to the batteries you
use. Select the type of batteries in use
on [BATTERY TYPE] in the [SETUP]
menu (P23). The setting can be
distinguished by the colour of the
battery indication (blue or white).
– The battery indication does not appear
when you use the camera along with the
AC adaptor (DMW-AC2; optional).
A: When oxyride batteries are selected
The battery indication turns blue.
B: When alkaline/Ni-MH batteries are
selected
The battery indication turns white.
• We recommend that you use Panasonic
batteries.
• The performance of the batteries may
vary depending on brand or storage
terms/condition of the batteries.
• The performance of the batteries may be
temporarily deteriorated in low
temperature conditions (10
oC or less).
However, the performance of the batteries
is recovered when the batteries become
close to the ambient temperature.
• Depending on the temperature or the
conditions, the camera may not be
operated properly or the battery indication
may not be displayed correctly and the
batteries may become empty without
indication. However, this is not a
malfunction.
• We recommend turning the camera off
frequently while recording to maintain the
power of the batteries for a long time. If
you will be using the camera for a long
time, using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries
is more practical.
• The exhausted batteries may recover
some performance when they are left for a
period of time. However, they cannot be
used for a long time. Be sure to replace
with new batteries.
