Error Display in the Event of Incorrect Operation

In the event of unusual operation of the camera, [E] followed by double figures, e.g. [E-13], will appear on the LCD panel to indicate an error. When this happens, the shutter cannot be released. In this event, follow the instructions below.

If the first figure after [E] is “1” or “3”

If the second figure after [E] is “1”, “2” or “3”

If [PErr] is displayed Take the viewfinder out and put it back two or three times. If the error display disappears,

In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static electricity. This can be remedied by taking the batteries out and putting them back again.

This indicates camera breakdown, irrespective of the second figure. You should take the camera to your local Pentax service center.

If there is a film in the camera, wind to the end and remove the film. Press the shutter and if the error display disappears, the camera is ready for use. We recommend, however, that you have the camera checked at your local Pentax service center. If there is no film in the camera, open and close the back cover. If the error display disappears, the camera is ready for use.
