Recording conditions by CIPA standard Temperature: 23 C (73.4 F)/ Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on. Using Panasonics SD Memory Card (128 MB; optional). Using the supplied battery. Using the supplied lens. Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the optical image stabilizer function is set to [MODE1]) Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording. Turn the camera off every 10 recordings. CIPA is an abbreviation of Camera & Imaging Products Association. The card is optional. The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time. If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures decreases. [e.g. When recording once every 2 minutes, the number of recordable pictures decreases to about 110.]
Inserting/Removing the Battery
Check that the camera is turned off. Close the flash.
Close the battery door. 2 Slide the release lever in the direction of the arrow (CLOSE side) and then close it firmly.
1 Slide the release lever in the direction of the arrow (OPEN side) and then open the battery door.
Always use genuine Panasonic batteries (CGR-S603A).
2 Insert: Insert the charged battery fully until it clicks. Remove: Push the lever A in the direction of the arrow to remove.
Be careful of the direction indicated by the mark [ ] on the battery when inserting the battery.
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 be shorter.) The clock setting is canceled after this length of time. In this case, set the clock again. (P28) Do not remove the card or the battery while the card is being accessed. The data may be damaged. (P22) Turn the camera off and then remove the battery after the LCD monitor and the status indicator (green) turn off. If you remove the battery while the camera is on, the settings on the camera may not be stored properly. The supplied battery is designed only for the camera. Do not use it with any other equipment.

Using the AC Adaptor

You can use the camera without worrying about battery discharge when it is connected to a PC or printer if you use the AC adaptor. Check that the camera is turned off. Close the flash. Do not use any other AC adaptors except the supplied one. Do not use any other DC cables except the supplied one. If you use other DC cables, it may cause a malfunction. The camera becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction. Disconnect the AC adaptor and DC cable when the camera is not in use.
Inserting/Removing the Card (Optional)
Check that the camera is turned off. Close the flash. Prepare a card.
2 Connect the DC cable A.
1 Slide the card door to open it.

F E: Viewfinder Display Manual exposure assistance F appears for about 10 seconds to show an approximation of the exposure condition. If the exposure is not adequate, check the aperture value and the shutter speed that have been set.
3 Press the shutter button fully to take the picture.
Manual Exposure Assistance The exposure is adequate. Set to faster shutter speed or larger aperture value. Set to slower shutter speed or smaller aperture value. The manual exposure assistance is an approximation. We recommend checking the pictures using Auto Review. About [B] (Bulb) If you set the shutter speed to [B], the shutter stays open while the shutter button is pressed fully (up to about 8 minutes). The shutter closes if you release the shutter button. Use this when you want to keep the shutter open for a long time to take pictures of fireworks, a night scene etc. If you set the shutter speed to [B], [ ] is displayed on the Viewfinder and [B] is displayed on the LCD monitor. When you take pictures with the shutter speed set to [B], use a sufficiently charged battery. (P19) We recommend using a tripod or the remote shutter (DMW-RSL1; optional) when you take pictures with the shutter speed set to [B]. Refer to P107 for information about the remote shutter. When you take pictures with the shutter speed set to [B], noise may become visible. To avoid picture noise, we recommend setting [LONG SHUTTER NR] in the [CUSTOM] menu to [ON] before taking pictures. (P87) The manual exposure assistance does not appear. If you press the shutter button fully when the shutter speed is slow, the shutter speed on the screen counts down. We recommend using a tripod when the shutter speed is slow. If the exposure is not adequate, the aperture value and the shutter speed turn red when the shutter button is pressed halfway. The aperture value and the shutter speed blink on the Viewfinder. (They do not blink when the flash is activated.) You cannot set the following items in manual exposure. AUTO [ ], AUTO/Red-eye reduction [ ], Slow sync. [ ] and Slow sync./Red-eye reduction [ ] on the built-in flash [AUTO] in ISO sensitivity (The ISO sensitivity is automatically set to [ISO100] when you switch from [AUTO] to Manual exposure.) Exposure compensation When you use a lens with no aperture ring, press [FUNC.1] and then rotate the command dial to set the aperture.

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
If you are using [FUNC.2] to compensate the exposure ([FUNC.2] is set for compensating the exposure at the time of purchase.)

You can also press the shutter button halfway to close the menu. After performing steps 1 to 5, rotate the command dial to compensate the exposure.
2 Press 4 to select the [CUSTOM] menu icon [ ] and then press 1.
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 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. Rotate the command dial slowly but surely. You cannot compensate the exposure in manual exposure mode. Refer to P73 for information about setting a different function to [FUNC.2].

Taking Pictures with Manual Focus
Use this function when you want to fix the focus or when the distance between the lens and the subject is determined and you do not want to activate auto focus.
Technique for Manual focus
1 Set the focus mode lever to [MF].
1 Rotate the focus ring. 2 Rotate it a little more. 3 Finely focus on the subject by rotating the focus ring slowly in reverse.
2 Rotate the focus ring to focus on the subject.
If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again. After turning the camera off and then on again or canceling power save mode, focus on the subject again. About the focus distance indicator and the focus distance reference line The number on the focus distance indicator A ([0.29] m (0.95 feet) to []) is a measurement from the focus distance reference line 1 on the top of the camera. Use this when taking pictures with manual focus or taking close-up pictures.
The focus indication lights when the focus ring rotate to focus on the subject. The focus area is fixed to the AF frame on the center of the screen. The focus distance indicator ([0.29] m (0.95 feet) to []) A shows the approximate in focus distance from the focus distance reference line. (P42)

3 Take the picture.

0.29 m (0.95 feet)
B B: Focus distance reference line
If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera, the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights. The available flash range is about 2.5 m (8.2 feet) to 7.0 m (23.0 feet) (Wide) (When the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO].). We recommend setting the flash to Forced OFF [ ] when you take pictures at close range. If you are taking close-up pictures We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer. The effective focus range (depth of field) is significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again. The resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
To make subjects appear closer use (Tele)
Rotate the zoom ring towards Tele.
50 mm (35 mm film camera equivalent: 100 mm)
To make subjects appear further away use (Wide)
Rotate the zoom ring towards Wide.

Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
5 Press [MENU/SET] twice to close the menu.
A A: Self-timer set to [10 SEC.]
When taking pictures using auto bracket after setting the exposure compensation range, the pictures taken are based on the selected exposure compensation range. The auto review function is activated regardless of the setting for auto review. (The picture is not enlarged.) The exposure may not be compensated with auto bracket depending on the brightness of the subject. You can only take 1 picture when the flash is activated. Also, you cannot take the number of pictures set in auto bracket if the number of recordable pictures is less.
A picture is not taken until the subject is brought into focus. If you want to press the shutter button fully to take a picture even when the subject is not focused, set [FOCUS PRIORITY] in the [CUSTOM] menu to [OFF]. (P86) The self-timer B indicator B blinks and the shutter is activated after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds). If you press [MENU/SET] while taking a picture with the self-timer, it is canceled.
Changing the time setting for the self-timer

1 Press [WB] A.

B: When taking pictures with Live View 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. If you set [MIRROR UP] in the [CUSTOM] menu to [ON], you can prevent jitter (camera shake) caused by the mirror. (P87) We recommend using a tripod when taking pictures with the self-timer. (When you use a tripod, make sure the tripod is stable when the camera is attached to it.)
