• Do not place your finger over the flash when discharging the flash. You may burn yourself.

• Do not discharge the flash while it is touching your clothing as there is a risk of discoloring.

• 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 screen 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.

Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Using Your Camera

• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package. 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 when 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.

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.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.

• 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.

• As this camera is not waterproof, do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other liquid.

• 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. If the camera is subjected to strong 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 monitor may appear black under high temperatures, but will return to normal as temperatures normalize. 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.

•

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.

• 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 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 of the camera or the display.

• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket on the camera.

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. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.

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 checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high performance.

• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.37) regarding the SD Memory Card.

• Please note that deleting images, or formatting the SD Memory Cards or the built-in memory does not completely erase the original data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered using commercially available software. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the privacy of such data.

Using the Camera

• Optio NB 1000 can be used with , the building block product made by KAWADA CO., LTD. Using a commercially available

• If you install the blocks near the lens, make sure that the lens does not make contact with them when it extends. If the lens hits the blocks when it extends, the camera power may turn off, or it may cause a malfunction.

• Do not attach blocks over the flash or in a nearby area. Not only may the light be blocked when the flash discharges, but the blocks may also be deformed if the flash discharges repeatedly.

• Be careful because depending on the position and size of the attached blocks, they may inhibit the flash or lens and cause shadowing on the recorded image.

• Do not attach blocks over the self-timer lamp. Doing so will obscure the lighting and blinking of the lamp when the self-timer is operating.

• The camera is a precision instrument. Be careful when removing and attaching the blocks.

can further increase your enjoyment of the camera.

• Depending on how the blocks are attached, it may be easy for some of them to fall off. Be careful not to drop or lose the blocks.

• The blocks are designed to be easy to attach and remove. When using the camera, hold it firmly, for example, by wrapping the camera strap around your hand, so that you will not drop the camera even if some blocks fall off unexpectedly.

• If you take your camera for repair or another service, first remove all the blocks.
