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 Battery Charger
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid
storing it especially 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 service life.
Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.
•
• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the battery
charger D-BC92. Do not use it with any other equipment.
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera
•
Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken
regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or
pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof
performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is
subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is
subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure, take your camera to
your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is -10°C to 40°C (14°F
to 104°F).
• The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will return
to normal at normal temperatures.
• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low
temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a
malfunction.
5
• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may
form on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag
or plastic bag and take the camera out when the difference in temperature has
subsided.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These
could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or
water drops.
• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause it to break or
malfunction.
• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may
damage the exterior of the camera or the display.
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in
the tripod socket on the camera.
Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or
benzene.
• 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
• Avoid storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a well-ventilated place to
prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.
• 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 in locations where it may
be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
Other Precautions
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high
performance.
• Please note that deleting data, or formatting the SD Memory Cards or the builtin 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.
6
• 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 a computer.
Write-protect
switch
r appears on the display when the card is
write-protected.
• 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 deleted 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
data on the card is being recorded or 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.
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may
stop while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space in the
memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.
• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been used on
another camera. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.174).

water may get in and damage the camera.
Be Careful Near the Water
• Avoid opening the battery/card and terminal covers when near the waterside or
with wet hands. Wait until the camera is completely dry before changing the
battery or the SD Memory Card. Avoid changing the battery or card where the
camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that your hands are dry.
• The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap and slip
the strap over your wrist when using the camera in or near water.
• To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the lens is
protected by glass. As any dirt or water on the glass will affect the quality of
pictures taken, the glass should be kept clean at all times.

camera underwater for more than 120 minutes consecutively.
• Do not open the battery/card and terminal covers underwater.
• Do not use in hot water or in a hot spring.
• Do not apply excessive force to the camera, for example diving into water with
it. Doing so may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera or
cause the covers to open.
• Leaving the camera on the sand at the beach may cause the camera to exceed
its operating temperature or cause the speaker or microphone to become
blocked with sand.
• Avoid subjecting the camera to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as
this may cause a loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is subjected to
substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest
PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
• Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause discoloration
of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off immediately with warm
water.
• Sudden and extreme changes in temperature may cause condensation to form
in and on the camera. Keep the camera in a bag or case to reduce the
difference in temperature.
9
Precautions After Using the Camera in the Water
• Do not open the battery/card cover or terminal cover if the camera is wet. Wipe
off any water with a clean lint-free cloth.
• The inside surface of the covers may get wet when they are opened. Wipe off
any water that is on the cover.
• Wiping off the camera while there is sand or dust on it may scratch the surface
of the camera. Make sure that the battery/card cover and terminal cover are
firmly closed before washing the camera in tap water. After washing the
camera, dry it with a soft cloth.
• Wipe off any dirt or sand on the waterproof packing or the packing contact
surface. The camera’s waterproof performance may be compromised by loose
packing or cracks or dents in the packing or packing contact surface. If there is
any such damage, contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center.
• If the camera is very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure that it
is turned off and the battery/card and terminal covers are firmly closed before
rinsing it under running tap water or leaving it in a bowl of clean water for a short
time (2 or 3 minutes).
• Avoid cleaning with agents such as soapy water, mild detergents, or alcohol as
this may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera.
• To maintain the waterproof performance of the camera, you are recommended
to change the waterproof packing once a year. Contact your nearest PENTAX
Service Center regarding changing the packing. (A charge will be made.)
• The camera’s accessories are not waterproof.
