Charging the Battery
Use the dedicated charger and battery. The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery before use. Charge the battery with the charger indoors. Charge the battery in a temperature between 10 oC to 35 oC (50 oF to 95 oF). (The battery
temperature should also be the same.)
Attach the battery with attention to the direction of the battery.
Connect the charger to the electrical outlet.
Charging starts when the [CHARGE]
indicator A lights green.
Charging is complete when the
[CHARGE] indicator A turns off (after approx. 120 min maximum).
Detach the battery after charging is completed.
When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes The battery temperature is excessively high or low. The charging time will be longer than
normal. Also, charging may not be completed.
The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry cloth. Note After charging is completed, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical

http://panasonic.co.jp/pavc/global/cs
(This Site is English only.)
Note Do not turn this unit off, remove its battery or card or disconnect the AC adaptor
(DMW-AC5PP; optional) when the access indication is lit [when pictures are being read or deleted or the built-in memory or the card is being formatted (P24)]. Furthermore, do not subject the camera to vibration or impact. The card or the data on the card may be damaged, and this unit may no longer operate normally. The data on the built-in memory or the card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic waves, static electricity or breakdown of the camera or the card. We recommend storing important data on a PC etc. Do not format the card on your PC or other equipment. Format it on the camera only to ensure proper operation. (P24) Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
Setting Date/Time (Clock Set)
We recommend selecting [LANGUAGE] (P25) from the [SETUP] menu (P21) before setting date/time. The clock is not set when the camera is shipped.

Turn the camera on.

Note The clock is displayed when [DISPLAY] is pressed several times during recording. When a fully charged battery has been inserted for more than 24 hours, charging of the built-in
battery for the clock is completed so the clock setting will be stored (in the camera) for at least 3 months even if the battery is removed. (If you insert a battery that is not sufficiently charged, the length of time that the clock setting is stored may become less.) You can set the year from 2000 to 2099. The 24-hour system is used. If the clock is not set, the correct date cannot be printed when you stamp the date on the pictures with [TEXT STAMP] (P74) or order a photo studio to print the pictures. If the clock is set, the correct date can be printed even if the date is not displayed on the screen of the camera.

You can enter the digital zoom range by continuously rotating the zoom lever to Tele or releasing the zoom lever once and then rotating it to Tele again.

VQT1M59_ENG.book 33

Extended optical zoom mechanism When you set the picture size to [ ] (3 million pixels), the 10M (10.1 million pixels) CCD area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect. Note The digital zoom cannot be set when has been selected. The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation. EZ is an abbreviation of Extended optical Zoom. The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k) when the camera is turned on. If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again. The lens barrel extends or retracts according to the zoom position. Take care not to interrupt
the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
When using the digital zoom, [STABILIZER] may not be effective. When using the digital zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P44) for taking

pictures.

Using the Easy zoom
You can zoom at high speed to Tele (maximum zoom position). The zoom magnification differs depending on the picture size that is set.

The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording conditions. : Forced flash ON Use this when your subject is back-lit or under fluorescent light. The flash setting is set to [] only when you set [PARTY] or : [CANDLE LIGHT] in scene mode.

Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
Move 2 []. Move 3/4 to select a mode.
You can also move 2 [] to select.
Press the shutter button halfway to focus and then press it fully to take the picture.
The self-timer indicator A blinks and the shutter is
activated after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds).
If you press [MENU/SET] while the self-timer is set, the
self-timer setting is canceled.
Note When using a tripod etc., setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the
jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.
When you press the shutter button once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before
recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly operating as an AF assist lamp (P66) to allow the camera to focus on the subject. We recommend using a tripod when recording with the self-timer. The number of pictures which can be taken in [BURST] is fixed to 3.

VQT1M59_ENG.book 45

Compensating the Exposure
Use this function when you cannot achieve appropriate exposure due to the difference in brightness between the subject and the background. Look at the following examples. Under exposed Properly exposed Overexposed
Compensate the exposure towards positive.
Compensate the exposure towards negative.
Move 3 [] until [EXPOSURE] appears, compensate the exposure with 2/1.
Select [0 EV] to return to the original exposure.
Press [MENU/SET] to finish.
You can also press the shutter button halfway to finish. Note EV is an abbreviation of [Exposure Value]. It refers to the amount of light given to the CCD by
the aperture value and the shutter speed.
The exposure compensation value appears on the lower left of the screen. The set exposure value is memorized even if the camera is turned off. The compensation range of the exposure will be limited depending on the brightness of the

subject.

When you do not use auto bracket, select [OFF] (0).
You can also press the shutter button halfway to finish.
Note When setting auto bracket, [ ] appears on the screen. When taking pictures using auto bracket after setting the exposure compensation range, the
pictures taken are based on the selected exposure compensation range. When the exposure is compensated, the exposure compensation value appears on the lower left of the screen. The auto bracket setting is canceled if you turn the camera off or [POWER SAVE] is activated. When auto bracket is set, the auto review function is activated regardless of the auto review setting. (The picture is not enlarged.) You cannot set the auto review function in the [SETUP] menu. The exposure may not be compensated with auto bracket depending on the brightness of the subject. [] is set for the flash when auto bracket is set. Burst is canceled when auto bracket is set.
