∫ About Condensation

(When the lens, the viewfinder or LCD Monitor is fogged up) Condensation occurs when there is a change in temperature or humidity, such as when the unit is taken from outside or a cold room to a warm room. Please be careful, as it may cause the lens, the viewfinder or LCD monitor to become soiled, moldy, or damaged. When taking the unit to a place which has a different temperature, if the unit is accustomed to the room temperature of the destination for about one hour, condensation can be prevented. (When the difference in temperature is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the like, remove air from the bag, and seal the bag.) When condensation has occurred, remove the battery and/or the AC adapter and leave the unit like that for about one hour. When the unit becomes accustomed to the surrounding temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally. ∫ About security Be careful about the possibility of theft or loss of the unit, and be careful not to leave the unit unattended. Please note that Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for the compromise, manipulation, and loss of information caused by these events. ∫ Caution regarding laser beams The lens may suffer damage if struck by a laser beam. Make sure that laser beams do not strike the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used. ∫ Cards that you can use with this unit SDHC Memory Card and SDXC Memory Card ≥ 4 GB or more Memory Cards that do not have the SDHC logo or 48 GB or more Memory Cards that do not have the SDXC logo are not based on SD Memory Card Specifications. ≥ Refer to page 19 for more details on SD cards. ∫ For the purposes of these operating instructions ≥ The battery pack is referred to as the “Battery”. ≥ SDHC Memory Card and SDXC Memory Card are referred to as the “SD card”. ≥ The smartphone and tablet are indicated as “smartphone”. ≥ Function that can be used for Recording Mode: Function that can be used for Playback Mode: ≥ Scene(s) recorded with [REC MODE] set to [MOV (LPCM)], [MP4 (LPCM)] or [MP4]: "MOV/MP4 scene(s)". ≥ Scene(s) recorded with [REC MODE] set to [AVCHD]: "AVCHD scene(s)". ≥ The correct value for 60p/60i/30p/24p is 59.94p/59.94i/29.97p/23.98p (except C4K). ≥ Pages for reference are indicated by an arrow, for example: l 00 ∫ Installing HD Writer XE 2.0 Check the website below to download/install the software. http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/soft/download/f_xe20.html guid com
