Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included
in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at
a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer,
etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media
(SD Memory Card), etc.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
About the Battery and Charger
• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully charged
state or in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the
battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for
the battery charger D-BC106. Do not use it with other devices.
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a
cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles,
or ships. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or
pressure, take your camera to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and
have it checked.
5
• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The display may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to
normal at normal temperatures.
• The display may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to
liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and
remove it after the temperatures of the camera and surroundings are
equalized.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off
any rain or water drops.
• Do not press the display with excessive force. This could cause it to break
or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the tripod screw when using a tripod.
Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or
benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
Storing Your Camera
• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated
location.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static
electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or where it may be
exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain
high performance.
6
Other Precautions
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a
write-protect switch. Setting the switch to
LOCK prevents new data from being
recorded on the card, the stored data from
being deleted, and the card from being
formatted by the camera or computer.

• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately
after using the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Keep the battery/card cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory
Card or turn the camera off while the data is being played back or saved to
the card, or the camera is connected to a computer with the USB cable, as
this may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it
away from water and store away from high temperature.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage
the card and render it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be lost in the following
circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical
interference.
(3) when the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the SD Memory Card is ejected or the battery is removed while
the card is being accessed.
• If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become
unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a
computer.
• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been
previously used on another camera.
• Please note that deleting data, or formatting the SD Memory Cards or the
built-in memory does not completely erase the original data. Deleted files
can sometimes be recovered using commercially available software. It is
user’s responsibility to ensure the privacy of such data.
