FCC Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation
instructions and use only shielded interface cables with ferrite
core when connecting to computer or peripheral devices.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation

is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. DC-LX100M2 has been tested and found to
comply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
rules.

Troubleshooting
First, try out the following procedures.
If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting [Reset] on

the [Setup] menu.
• Further information is provided in the “Owner’s Manual for advanced features (PDF
format)”. Check it together with the information in this section.
Recording stops before finishing. Cannot record. Cannot use some

functions.
• When the ambient temperature is high or continuous recording is performed, the
camera’s temperature will rise. After [ ] is displayed, recording may stop or the
functions below may be temporarily disabled to protect the camera. Wait until the
camera cools down.
– 4K Photo
– Post Focus
– Motion picture recording
The charging lamp blinks.

• Charging is being performed in a place with extremely high or low temperature.
> Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and retry charging in a place where
ambient temperature is 10 °C to 30 °C (50 oF to 86 oF) (temperature conditions also
apply to the battery itself).
• Charging is not possible if the power supply capacity of the computer is low.
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. (P19)
The battery becomes flat too quickly.

• When [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) has been selected, the battery drains faster.
> Use these functions only when recording with them.
(ENG) DVQX1572 73
Others
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?
• If there are fingerprints or dirt on the lens, the focus may be set to the lens and not the
subject.
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 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.
Flicker or horizontal stripes may appear under lighting such as a

fluorescent or 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. (P35, 36)
• If noticeable flicker or horizontal stripes appear under lighting such as a fluorescent or
LED lighting fixture during motion picture recording, manually adjust the shutter speed
to 1/60 or 1/100. Setting a fixed shutter speed can reduce the flicker or horizontal
stripes.
Multiple pictures are taken at one time.

• Drive mode is set to other than [Single]. (P28)
• Are you using the bracket function? (P46)
74 DVQX1572 (ENG)
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.
Recording motion pictures is not possible.

• You may not be able to record for a short while after turning this unit on when using a
large capacity card.
Sometimes focus adjustment with Auto Focus mode is difficult while

recording 4K motion pictures.
• This may occur when taking a picture by reducing the Auto Focus speed in order to
adjust the focus at high precision. This is not a malfunction.
The flash is not activated.

• The flash becomes unavailable in the following case.
> Flash set to [Œ] (Forced Flash Off). (P47)
• When the electronic shutter is used, the flash is not activated.
• When [Silent Mode] is set to [ON], the flash is not activated.
The Monitor turns off although the camera is turned on.

• When an object or your hand is positioned near the eye sensor, the Monitor display may
switch to the Viewfinder display.
(ENG) DVQX1572 75
Others
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” (P68) to write pictures
from PC to card.
• Set [Playback Mode] to [Normal Play].
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.
> Perform the connection 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.
> If the wireless channel of the wireless access point cannot be set automatically, set
it manually by selecting from channel 1 to 11.
> 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.
76 DVQX1572 (ENG)
Others
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?
> Transmit after dividing the motion picture with [Video Divide].
> Reduce the image size at [Size], and then send.
• 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.
This is not a malfunction.
• This is the sound of automatic aperture adjustment, which occurs when a zoom
operation, etc, causes the brightness to change. It is not a malfunction.
Zooming stops instantaneously.
• When using the Extended optical zoom, the zooming action will stop temporarily. This is
not a malfunction.
The camera becomes warm.

• The camera may become somewhat warm during use, but 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 reset the clock. (P21)
