Charging lamp The battery is over discharged (discharged excessively). In a while, the lamp will light up and normal charging will start. When the battery temperature is excessively high or low, the [CHARGE] lamp flashes and the charging time will be longer than normal. When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery. Charging conditions 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.) The performance of the battery may temporarily deteriorate and the operating time may become shorter in low temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/ snowboarding).
Inserting/Removing the Battery
Check that the camera is turned off and that the lens is retracted. Close the flash.

1 Slide the release lever in the direction of the arrow and open the card/battery door.
2 Insert: Insert the card fully until it clicks and it is locked.
Remove the battery after use. When a fully charged battery has been inserted for more than 24 hours, the clock setting is 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.) However, the clock setting is cancelled after this length of time. In this case, set the clock again. (P19) Do not remove the card or the battery while the card is being accessed. The data may be damaged. (P15)

For information about flash settings that can be selected, refer to Available flash settings by recording mode. (P43) : AUTO The flash is automatically activated when the recording conditions make it necessary. : AUTO/Red-eye reduction1 The flash is automatically activated when the recording conditions make it necessary. It is activated once before the actual recording to reduce the red-eye phenomenon (eyes of the subject appearing red in the picture) and then activated again for the actual recording.
Use this when you take pictures of people in low lighting conditions. : Forced ON The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording conditions. Use this when your subject is back-lit or under fluorescent light. : Forced ON/Red-eye reduction1 The flash setting is set to Forced ON/ Red-eye reduction only when you set [PARTY] (P62) or [CANDLE LIGHT] (P62) in scene mode. : Slow sync./Red-eye reduction1 If you take a picture with a dark background landscape, this feature will slow the shutter speed when the flash is activated so that the dark background landscape will become bright. Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye phenomenon. Use this when you take pictures of people in front of a dark background. : Forced OFF The flash is not activated in any recording conditions. Use this when you take pictures in places where the use of the flash is not permitted. 1 The flash is activated twice. The subject should not move until the second flash is activated.

Prefocus This is a technique for focusing in advance on the point the pictures will be taken when it is difficult to focus on the subject with auto focus due to its quick motion. [e.g. [PANNING] (P61) in scene mode] This function is suitable when the distance between the camera and the subject is certain.

Scene Mode

When you select a scene mode to match the subject and recording situation, the camera sets the optimal exposure and hue to obtain the desired picture. Refer to P59 to 65 for each scene menu.
You can also record with manual focus in motion picture mode [ ]. However the focus is fixed while recording motion pictures. If you focus on the subject in Wide and then rotate the zoom lever to Tele, the focus may not be adequate. In this case, focus on the subject again. You cannot set continuous AF (P81) when manual focus is set. The MF assistance screen does not appear when using the digital zoom. The distance to the subject displayed on the screen in manual focus is an approximation of the focus position. Remember that the distance is an approximation when taking a picture. Use the assistance screen for a final check of the focus. After canceling power save mode, focus on the subject again.

pemaraal adapter for Panasonic DMC-FZ7 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Models FZ752H & FZ755H
Your adapter arrives assembled. If for any reason you disassemble it, slip the outer tube over the narrow end (the camera end) of the inner tube, and rotate the outer tube counter clockwise until it is fully extended over the front of the inner tube. Rotation will cease when it reaches the built-in stop.
This adapter consists of 2 parts: an inner and an outer tube. The inner tube attaches to the camera and accepts accessories such as lens caps, step-rings, filters and conversion lenses. The outer tube extends outward and serves as a lens hood when needed. Please read carefully and become familiar with the mounting instructions before using.
1. Turn off the camera. Remove the lens cap. The adapter must be orientated as shown, with the outer tube fully extended. (Figure 1) 2. Grasp the inner tube and rotate the assembly carefully into the mounting threads of the camera. Tighten the inner tube firmly but not excessively. (Figure 1) 3. Rotate the outer tube to retract it back towards the camera so that it overlaps the inner tube. Rotation stops when it reaches the camera. (Figure 2) 4. Adapter is now ready to accept accessories. The FZ752H accepts 52mm accessories; the FZ755H accepts 55mm. Install or remove accessories only when the outer tube is in this position. Hold the camera and outer ring securely when removing accessories. (Figure 2) 5. Rotate the outer tube counter clockwise to enable the lens hood. A filter mounted to the inner tube will not impede the hood. Rotation will cease when it reaches the built in stop. (Figure 3) IMPORTANT: When enabling the lens hood or removing accessories, always check that the inner tube connection to the camera has not become loose. If you notice or suspect that it has, immediately re-tighten the connection. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the camera, the adapter and/or the accessory.
