About this Manual
Preface iv
Handling Precautions for Batteries
• This camera uses two AA alkaline, AA lithium or AA Ni-MH 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.
English
• AA alkaline and AA lithium 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 battery may short and
may cause a fire, rupture, leak or heat.
• When replacing the batteries, do not combine different brands, types or capacities. Als o, do not
combine old batteries with new ones. Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a
fire.
• Do not insert the batteries with the positive (+) and negative (-) poles in the wrong orientation.
Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.
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 im port ant picture s (such as at a w edding or during tr aveling). C ontent s
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 (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 temperatur e 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-ven tilated place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy
during storage.
• 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 pressu re as this may
cause damage or malfunction. Place the camera on a cushion for pro tection when the camera is
subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the c amera is subjecte d to subs ta ntial
About this Manual
Preface v
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 no rmal 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.
• Please note that formatting a memory card or internal flash 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 damage the exterior
