Charging the battery  
About batteries that you can use with this unit  
The battery that can be used with this unit is DMW-BCG10PP.  
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very  
similar to the genuine products are made available to purchase  
in some markets. Some of these battery packs are not adequately  
protected with internal protection to meet the requirements of  
appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these  
battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised  
that we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as a  
result of use of a counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that safe  
products are used we recommend that a genuine Panasonic  
battery pack is used.  
Use the dedicated charger and battery.  
The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can  
be used safely. The dedicated battery (DMW-BCG10PP) supports  
this function. The only batteries suitable for use with this unit  
are genuine Panasonic products and batteries manufactured by  
other companies and certified by Panasonic. (Batteries which do  
not support this function cannot be used.) Panasonic cannot in  
any way guarantee the quality, performance or safety of batteries  
which have been manufactured by other companies and are not  
genuine Panasonic products.  
The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge  
the battery and set the clock before use.  
Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C - 30 °C (50 °F -  
86 °F)).  
Insert the battery terminals and attach  
the battery to the charger
