e_kb487.book Page 3 Wednesday, December 8, 2010 9:49 AM

Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Using Your Camera

• 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). Recorded data 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.

About the Battery and Charger

• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid storing 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 usage span.

• 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-BC90. 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.

• The temperature range for camera use is –10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).

• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to normal at normal temperatures.

• The monitor 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 temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized.

• 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 monitor. This could cause it to break or malfunction.

• Be careful not to overtighten the tripod screw when using a tripod.

e_kb487.book Page 4 Wednesday, December 8, 2010 9:49 AM

Cleaning Your Camera

• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or benzine.

• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or viewfinder. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.

• Please contact PENTAX Service Center for professional cleaning of CCD Sensor. (This service will involve a fee.)

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.

Other Precautions

• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high performance.

• Refer to “Precautions When Using the SD Memory Card” (p.32) regarding the SD Memory Card.

• Please note that deleting images or formatting the SD Memory Cards 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.

Regarding Product Registration

In order to better serve you, we request that you complete the product registration, which can be found on the CD-ROM supplied with the camera or the PENTAX website. Thank you for your cooperation. Refer to “Using a Computer” (p.81) for more information.

If images fail to be played back, change the video output format with [Video Out] in the [R2] menu. (z p.R25)

• The maximum size of the HDMI output format corresponding to the AV equipment and camera is automatically selected. If images fail to be played back, change the video output format with [HDMI Out] in the [R2] menu. (z p.R25)

About the Video Cable

Troubleshooting

In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static electricity. This can be remedied by taking the battery out and putting it back in again. When the mirror remains in the up position, take the battery out and put it back in again. Then, the mirror will retract when the camera is turned on again. If, after performing these procedures, the camera operates correctly, it does not require any repairs. We recommend checking the following items before contacting a service center.
