Preparation
Do not place your hands inside the mount of the digital camera body. Since the
sensor unit is a precision apparatus, it may cause a malfunction or damage.
About Condensation (When the lens or monitor is fogged up)
Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens and monitor stains, fungus and camera malfunction.
If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will
disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature.

DMC-GM1KP-VQT5D49_eng.book 41
Others
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture, etc., increasing the shutter speed
may introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics
of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting,
LED lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting, etc., the colors and screen brightness may
change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
The folder number and the file number are displayed as [] and the screen turns black.
Is this a non-standard picture, a picture which has been edited using a PC or a picture which
was taken by another make of digital camera?
Did you remove the battery immediately after picture-taking or did you take the picture using a
battery with a low remaining charge?
> To delete such pictures, make a backup of the data and format the card.
