Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Starting Use
• 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.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
About the Battery and Battery Charger
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance.
Avoid storing it especially 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 service life.
•
Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.
• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the
battery charger D-BC92. Do not use it with any other equipment.
5
Cautions when Carrying and Using the Camera
•
Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken
regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks,
or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof
performance. 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 -10°C to 40°C
(14°F to 104°F).
• The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will
return to normal at normal temperatures.
• 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
malfunction.
• 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.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off
any rain or water drops.
• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause it to break
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.
About Repairs
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or
benzene.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
6
About Storage
• Avoid storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a well-ventilated place to
prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.
Others
• 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.47) regarding
the SD Memory Card.

• Do not apply excessive force to the camera, for example diving into water
with it. Doing so may compromise the waterproof performance of the
camera or cause the covers to open.
• Leaving the camera on the sand at the beach may cause the camera to
exceed its operating temperature or cause the speaker or microphone to
become blocked with sand.
• Avoid subjecting the camera to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure
as this may cause a loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is
subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera
to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
• Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause
discoloration of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off
immediately with warm water.

surface of the camera. Make sure that the battery/card cover and terminal
cover are firmly closed before washing the camera in tap water. After
washing the camera, dry it with a soft cloth.
• Wipe off any dirt or sand on the waterproof packing or the packing contact
surface. The camera’s waterproof performance may be compromised by
loose packing or cracks or dents in the packing or packing contact surface.
If there is any such damage, contact your nearest PENTAX Service
Center.
• If the camera is very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure
that it is turned off and the battery/card and terminal covers are firmly
closed before rinsing it under running tap water or leaving it in a bowl of
clean water for a short time (2 or 3 minutes).
• Avoid cleaning with agents such as soapy water, mild detergents, or
alcohol as this may compromise the waterproof performance of the
camera.
• To maintain the waterproof performance of the camera, you are
recommended to change the waterproof packing once a year. Contact your
nearest PENTAX Service Center regarding changing the packing. (A
charge will be made.)
