Preparation/Basic

Care of the camera


Do not subject to strong vibration, shock, or pressure.
• The lens, monitor, or external case may be damaged if used in the following conditions.
It may also malfunction or image may not be recorded if you:
– Drop or hit the camera.
– Press hard on the lens or the monitor.

∫ Splash Proof
Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this camera offers
against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash Proof does not
guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with
water.
In order to minimize the possibility of damage please be sure the following precautions are
taken:
– The Splash Proof feature works in conjunction with the lenses that were specifically designed
to support this feature.
– The camera is not designed to be Dust and Splash proof when the USB connection cable or
the cable holder is attached to it.
– Make sure that all doors, socket caps and terminal covers are securely closed.
– Make sure that you are in a dry and secure place when changing the battery, lens or memory
card. After changing, make sure their protective doors are securely closed.
– If this camera is exposed to water, sand or any other foreign material clean it as soon as
possible, taking the necessary precautions that the foreign substance does not get inside the
camera.
– Under no circumstances should you touch or place any foreign objects within the camera or
in close proximity of the camera’s image sensor.
When using the camera in cold environments with temperatures between s10 oC
and 0 oC (14 oF and 32 oF):
– Attach a Panasonic interchangeable lens with a minimum recommended operating
temperature of s10 oC (14 oF) before use.
If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the monitor, wipe them off with a
dry soft cloth.
– Not doing so may cause the monitor to respond incorrectly to touch operations.
– If the monitor is closed when such liquids are present, malfunction may result.
If you shake the camera while it is turned off, its sensors may move or a rattling sound
may be heard. The sound is caused by the In-Body Image Stabilizer, and this is not a
malfunction.

∫ About Condensation (When the lens, the viewfinder or monitor is fogged up)
• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens, viewfinder 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.

Troubleshooting
First, try out the following procedures.

If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting [Reset] on the


[Setup] menu.
• Please also refer to the “Owner’s Manual for advanced features (PDF format)”, which describes
more detailed information.

When I shake the camera, I hear a rattling sound.


• The sound is caused by the In-Body Image Stabilizer. This is not a malfunction.

The camera cannot be operated even when it is turned on.


The camera turns off immediately after it is turned on.
• The battery is exhausted.
> Charge the battery. (P12)

The battery becomes flat too quickly.


• When [6K/4K Pre-Burst] or [Pre-Burst Recording] is set, the battery drains faster.
> Use these functions only when recording with them.

The subject is not focused properly.


• The subject is beyond the focus range of the camera.
• Is [Focus/Release Priority] in the [Custom] menu set to [RELEASE]?
• Is [Shutter AF] in the [Custom] menu set to [OFF]?
• Is the AF Lock applied incorrectly?

The recorded picture is blurred.


The Image Stabilizer is not effective.
• The shutter speed will become slower and the Image Stabilizer function may not work properly
when taking pictures especially in dark places.
> We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer when taking pictures with a slow shutter
speed.

The subject appears distorted on the picture.


• If you record a moving subject when using the electronic shutter or recording motion picture or
a 6K/4K photo, the subject may appear distorted on the picture. This is characteristic of MOS
sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is not a malfunction.

112 DVQX1052 (ENG)


DC-GH5LBodyP-DVQX1052_eng.book 113 ページ 2017年2月2日 木曜日 午後3時21分

Others

Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and
LED lighting fixture.
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors.
This is not a malfunction.
• When using the electronic shutter, lowering the shutter speed may reduce the effect of the
horizontal stripes.
• If noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED lighting fixture
when recording motion pictures, you can reduce the flicker or striping by setting up [Flkr
Decrease] and fixing the shutter speed. It is possible to select a shutter speed from [1/50],
[1/60], [1/100], or [1/120]. You can set the shutter speed manually in the Creative Video Mode.
(P23)

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.

Recording motion pictures is not possible.


• If you continue to use the same card after changing [System Frequency] (P83), motion pictures
may not be recorded. To record with the same card, reset [System Frequency] to the original
setting. To record motion pictures with the current setting, try the following:
– Perform formatting (P16) on this unit after saving necessary data on a PC, etc.
– Insert a different card.
• You may not be able to record for a short while after turning this unit on when using a large
capacity card.

Motion picture recording stops in the middle.


• When the ambient temperature is high or motion picture is recorded continuously, the camera
may display [ ] and stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.

Sometimes it is difficult to focus with Auto Focus when recording 4K motion


pictures.
• This phenomenon occurs when the camera is trying to record with highly accurate focus at a
reduced Auto Focus speed, and is not a malfunction.

The flash is not activated.


• When the electronic shutter is used, the flash is not activated.
• When [Silent Mode] is set to [ON], the flash is not activated.

Even when the camera is put in sleep mode, the external flash does not enter
sleep mode.
Even when the camera is turned off, the external flash does not turn off.
• When [Sleep Mode], [Sleep Mode(Wi-Fi)], or [Power Save LVF Shooting] (P82) is activated, the
external flash may not enter sleep mode automatically. When the camera is turned off, the
external flash may not turn off automatically.
> In such cases, turn off the external flash manually.

The picture is not played back.


There are no recorded pictures.
• Is the card inserted?
• Is this a folder or picture which was processed in the PC?
If it is, it cannot be played back by this unit.
> It is recommended to use the software “PHOTOfunSTUDIO” (P104) to write pictures from
PC to card.
• Has [Playback Mode] been set for playback?
> Change to [Normal Play].
• Motion pictures recorded with a different [System Frequency] setting cannot be played back. (P83)
> Return the [System Frequency] setting to the one you used during the recording.

A Wi-Fi connection cannot be established.


Radio waves get disconnected.
Wireless access point is not displayed.
∫ General tips for using a Wi-Fi connection
• Use within the communication range of the device to be connected.
• Is any device, such as microwave oven, cordless phone, etc., that uses 2.4 GHz frequency
operated nearby?
> Radio waves may get interrupted when used simultaneously. Use them sufficiently away
from the device.
• When the battery indicator is flashing red, the connection with other equipment may not start or
the connection may be disrupted.
(A message such as [Communication error] is displayed.)
• If you place the camera on a metal table or shelf, the radio waves may be adversely affected. In
such cases, you may not be able to establish a connection. Move the camera away from the
metal surface.
∫ About a wireless access point
• Check if the wireless access point to connect is in operating state.
• Check the radio wave condition of the wireless access point.
> Move this unit closer to the wireless access point.
> Change the location and orientation of the wireless access point.
• It may not display even if the radio waves exist depending on the setting of the wireless access point.
> Turn off and on the wireless access point.
> Check the settings of the wireless access point.
> When the network SSID of the wireless access point is set not to broadcast, the wireless
access point may not be detected. Enter the network SSID to start the connection or enable
the SSID broadcast of the wireless access point.

When I try to set up a Wi-Fi connection with a Windows 8 PC, my user name and
password are not recognized, so I cannot connect to the PC.
• Some OS versions, including Windows 8, use two types of accounts: a local account and a
Microsoft account.
> Be sure to use the user name and password for the local account.

The PC is not recognized when I use a Wi-Fi connection. The camera cannot be
connected to PC via Wi-Fi connection.
• The default workgroup name is set to “WORKGROUP”. If you changed the workgroup name,
the PC will not be recognized.
In [PC Connection] of the [Wi-Fi Setup] menu, change the workgroup name to that of the PC
you are connecting to.
• Please confirm login name and password are correctly typed.
• When the system time of Mac computer or Windows PC connected to a camera differs severely
from that of the camera, the camera cannot be connected to the computer or PC in some OSs.
> Please confirm [Clock Set] and [World Time] of the camera matches with time, date and
time zone in Windows PC or Mac computer. When both settings do not match severely,
please match them.

It takes time to transmit an image to the web service.


Transmission of the image fails midway. Some images cannot be transmitted.
• Is the size of the image too large?
> Reduce the image size at [Size], and then send.
> Transmit after dividing the motion picture with [Video Divide].
• It may take longer time to transmit when distance to the wireless access point is far.
> Transmit closer to the wireless access point.
• File format of the motion picture that can be sent differs depending on the destination.

There is a sound from lens unit.


• It is a sound of lens movement or aperture operation when this unit is turned on or off, and it is
not a malfunction.
• The sound, which is caused by the automatic adjustment of the aperture, is heard when the
brightness has changed due to, for example, zooming or the movement of the camera. This is
not a malfunction.

The camera becomes warm.


• The surface of the camera and the reverse side of the monitor may become warm during use.
This does not affect the performance or quality of the camera.

The clock is reset.


• If you do not use the camera for a long time, the clock may be reset.
> [Please set the clock] message will be displayed; please reset the clock. (P15)
