About the recording method

for recording motion pictures
Indemnity about recorded

content
This unit can record motion pictures using three

different recording methods, including MOV,
MP4 and AVCHD*.
* AVCHD Progressive (1080/60p, 1080/50p)
supported.
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility

for damages directly or indirectly due to any
type of problems that result in loss of recording
or edited content, and does not guarantee any
content if recording or editing does not work
properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a
case where any type of repair is made to the
unit.
MOV and MP4:

These recording methods are suitable for
editing images. Audio is recorded in linear
PCM.
Those methods are not compatible with
motion pictures recorded in AVCHD format.
Those methods can record motion pictures in
formats that support 4K. 4K motion pictures
offer a resolution four times higher than that
of full high-definition motion pictures.
AVCHD:
This recording method is suitable for playback
on a high-definition compatible external monitor.
Audio is recorded in Dolby Digital.
Regarding system frequencies

The NTSC/PAL region setting can be switched
in [SYSTEM FREQ]. (l 30)
You cannot store AVCHD scenes recorded
with different system frequencies on the
same SD card. If you have switched the
system frequency, use another SD card.
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.

About batteries that you can use with this unit (as of August 2015)
The battery that can be used with this unit is VW-VBD58.
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the genuine
product are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of these battery packs

About the battery

The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity
and temperature and the effect increases the
more the temperature rises or falls. In cold
areas, the full charge indication may not appear
or the low battery indication may appear about
5 minutes after starting use. At high
temperatures, the protection function may be
triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.
The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag

so metal does not come into contact with the
terminals.
The battery should be stored in a cool place
free from humidity, with as constant
temperature as possible. (Recommended
temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF),
Recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)
Extremely high temperatures or low
temperatures will shorten the life of the
battery.
If the battery is kept in high-temperature,
high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the
terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.
To store the battery for a long period of time,
we recommend you charge it once every year
and store it again after you have completely
used up the charged capacity.
Dust and other matter attached to the battery
terminals should be removed.
Prepare spare batteries when going out for
recording.
Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4
times the period you are planning to record
for. Cold places such as a ski resort can
shorten recording time.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to
see if the terminals are damaged.
When this unit or battery charger is attached
with the terminal part in a deformed state, this
unit or battery charger may be damaged.
Do not throw old battery into fire.
Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may
result in an explosion.
If the operating time is very short even after
the battery has been recharged, the battery
has worn out. Please purchase a new
battery.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.

If the battery is left attached, a minute amount
of current continues to flow even if the unit is
off. Keeping the unit in this state may result in
over discharge of the battery. This may result
in you not being able to use the battery even
after it is charged.

SQT1040
About the AC adaptor/battery

charger
If the temperature of the battery is extremely
high or extremely low, charging may take time
or the battery may not be charged.
If the charging lamp keeps flashing, make
sure that the terminals of the battery or the
battery charger are not exposed to dirt,
foreign objects or dust, then reconnect them
properly.
Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet
when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust
on the terminals of the battery or the battery
charger.
If the charging lamp is still flashing, the
temperature of the battery may be extremely
high or extremely low or something may be
wrong with the battery or battery charger.
Contact your dealer.
If you use the AC adaptor or battery charger
near a radio, radio reception may be
disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor or battery
charger 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the
radio.
When using the AC adaptor or battery
charger, it may generate whirring sounds.
However, this is normal.
After use, be sure to disconnect the AC cable
from the AC outlet. (If you leave this unit
connected, the AC adaptor will consume
approximately 0.3 W and the battery charger
approximately 0.3 W of current.)
Always keep the electrodes of the AC
adaptor, battery charger and battery clean.
Install the device near an AC outlet so

that the power disconnection device
(AC mains plug) can be accessed
easily by hand.
