PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR CAMERA
Precautions when taking pictures
• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact
with rain, water or any other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water , or liquid resistant. Should the
camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other
liquid, wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth.
• Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit a solid object.
If the camera suffers a severe shock or impact, take it
to a Pentax service center for inspection.
• Be careful not to subject the camera to strong vibrations, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the
camera when carrying it in a motorcycle, car, boat, etc.
• Condensation on the interior or the exterior of the camera may be extremely harmful to the camera mechanism as it may cause rust and/or corrosion.
Furthermore, if the camera is taken from warm temperature to a subfreezing one or vice versa, the formation of icelets may cause damage. In such a case, put
the camera into a case or plastic bag so that any
change in temperature difference is minimized. Do not
remove it from the bag until temperature has stabilized.
12
Precautions for storage
• Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in
places where temperature and humidity are high such
as in a car.
• Do not store the camera in a closet with mothballs or in
a case where chemicals are handled. Store it in a place
with good air circulation to prevent fungus growth.
Precautions for proper care
• Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or the viewfinder window.
• Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alcohol or
benzene to clean the camera. To clean the external
camera surfaces, - but not glass surfaces; using a dry
or silicone-treated cloth is recommended.
Other precautions
• The temperature range at which this camera functions
properly is 50˚ to -10˚C (122˚F to 14˚F).
• To maintain optimum performance, it is recommended
that the camera be inspected every one or two years.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, or is being prepared for an important photographic
session, it is recommended that you have the camera
inspected or test shoot with it.
