16. Materials ™ When Not Using the Camera for a Long Period of Time • Ensure you remove the battery and card from the camera. If the battery is left in the camera, it may over-discharge, and be rendered unusable even after charging. • Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature. (Recommended temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F); recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH) • If storing for a long period of time, it is recommended that the battery be charged once per year, fully drained in the camera, then removed from the camera and then stored again. • We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a closet or a cabinet. • Check all the parts before recording when you have not used the camera for a long period of time. ™ Image Data • Recorded data may be damaged or lost if the camera breaks down due to inappropriate handling. Panasonic will not be liable for any damage caused due to loss of recorded data. ™ Tripod/Unipod • Make sure the tripod/unipod is stable when the camera is attached to it. • You may not be able to remove the card or the battery when using a tripod or unipod. • Care is required because tightening the screw excessively may damage the camera, or cause the rating label to come off. • When using this unit with a large-diameter lens, the lens may come into contact with the pedestal depending on the tripod/unipod. Tightening the screw with the lens and pedestal in contact with each other may damage this unit or the lens. Therefore it is recommended to attach the tripod adaptor (DMW-TA1: optional) before mounting on the tripod/unipod. • Please also refer to the operating instructions for the tripod/unipod. 469
