immediately.
• If any leakage from the batteries should come in contact with skin or
clothes, wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.
• Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if they become hot or
emit smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as
there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long
periods of time.
• Should the liquid crystal display be damaged, be careful of glass
fragments. Also, be careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin
or in your eyes or in your mouth.
• Depending on your inherent factors or physical condition, the use of the
camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any abnormality,
stop using the camera and get medical attention immediately.
Handling Precautions for Batteries
• This camera uses two AA alkaline, AA lithium, AA Ni-MH or AA nickel
manganese batteries. Do not use batteries other than those specified here.
Using some other type of battery may cause the camera to function poorly,
or the batteries may rupture or cause a fire.
• AA alkaline, AA lithium and AA nickel manganese batteries cannot be
recharged. Do not try to take the batteries apart. The batteries may rupture
or leak if you try to charge them or take them apart.
• Do not remove the external seal of the battery. If the seal is removed, the

one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified
NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female
connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or
the equivalent.
Care to be Taken During Handling
• Take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package
with you when traveling. 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 during 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.
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or
benzene.
•
Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular care
should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be
avoided. Remove from case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent
the camera from becoming moldy during storage.
3
• As this camera is not waterproof, do not use the camera where it may come
in contact with rain, water or any other liquid.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks
or pressure as this may cause damage or malfunction. 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 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F).
• The liquid crystal display will become black at a high temperature but will
return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.
•
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 fault.
• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain
high performance.
• 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.
• Be careful not to allow dirt, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases or salt to
enter the camera as this may damage the camera. Wipe away any
raindrops or water droplets and allow the camera to dry.
• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.25) regarding
the SD Memory Card.
• Please note that formatting an SD Memory Card or built-in memory will
delete all data; however it may still be possible to recover that data using
off-the-shelf data recovery software. Please manage your camera memory
at your own risk.
• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause breakage
or malfunction.
• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may

• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while data is being
saved to the card, images or sound files are being played back, or the camera
is connected to a computer with the USB/AV 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 card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the card is ejected or the batteries are removed while the data on
the card is being recorded or accessed.
• If the SD Memory Card 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.
• Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or
electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed
to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• 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.
• For information on compatible SD Memory Cards, visit the PENTAX website.
• Be sure to format an SD Memory Card that is unused or has been used on
another camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card”. (p.140)
• Please note that formatting the SD Memory Card will not necessarily delete
the data so that it cannot be recovered using off-the-shelf data recovery
software. There are off-the-shelf secure data deletion software programs
available that will completely delete the data. If you are going to discard, give
away or sell your SD Memory Card, you should ensure that the data on the
card is completely deleted or the card itself is destroyed if it contains any
personal or sensitive information. In any case, the data on your SD Memory
Card should be managed at your own risk.
