Always use a genuine Panasonic Tripod Grip (DMW-SHGR1: optional).

The [Video Rec. Button (Remote)] menu does not work with the Tripod Grip.

Do not carry just by holding the hand strap when the camera is attached.

For details, refer to the operating instructions for the Tripod Grip.

AC Adaptor (Optional)/DC Coupler (Optional)

With an AC Adaptor (DMW-AC10: optional) and DC Coupler (DMW-DCC17: optional), you can perform recording and playback without worrying about the remaining battery charge.

Be sure to purchase both an AC Adaptor and a DC Coupler as a set.

They cannot be used independently of one another.

When the DC Coupler is being mounted, the DC Coupler cover opens, so the structure ceases to be dust and splash resistant.

Do not allow sand, dust and water droplets to adhere to or enter the camera.

After use, confirm that no foreign objects are adhering to the DC Coupler cover, then firmly close the cover.

For details, refer to the operating instructions for the AC Adaptor and DC Coupler.
