Cautions for Use
Optimal use of the camera
Take care not to drop or knock the unit or put a lot of pressure on it.
• Take care not to knock or drop the bag/case that you inserted the camera in as the
shock may cause damage to the camera, lens or LCD monitor.
• Do not attach any other items to the hand strap that’s included with your camera. While
being stored, that item can rest against the LCD monitor and damage it.
• Do not use a paper bag as it can easily rip causing the camera to fall and be damaged.
• We strongly recommend you purchase a good camera bag/case from your local dealer
to protect your camera.
Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as
microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
• If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may
be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
• Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely
affecting the pictures and sound.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic elds
created by speakers or large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the
camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.
• If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning
properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (DMW-
AC6PP for DMC-LS85PU/DMC-LS86PU, DMW-AC6E for DMC-LS85EG/DMC-LS85EP:
optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
• If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and
sound may be adversely affected.
Always use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the
cords and the cables supplied with them.
Do not extend the cords or the cables.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the camera.
• If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the camera body may be damaged and
the surface nish may peel off.
• Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of
time.
