CAMERA MAINTENANCE CLEANING: • Always keep the viewfinder eyepiece, lens and filters as clean as possible. To remove loose dust and dirt, first use the blower and then the brush. Do not try to wipe off granular dirt or dust - it's an excellent way of scratching the glass. • Smudges, such as fingerprints, should be carefully wiped away with either lens tissue or a clean, soft cloth. Clean, plain cotton handkerchiefs that have already been washed a few times are particularly good for this. Breathing on the lens before wiping is effective; but be sure to wipe away all moisture completely. Commercial lens cleaners are also effective. • Never touch the mirror or the shutter leaves. Minor dirt or spots on the mirror will not affect the clarity of your pictures. • Take care not to drop the camera or knock it against anything solid. Accidents or rough handling can easily damage the internal mechanism, even though externally nothing seems to have been damaged. KEEP YOUR CAMERA DRY: • Your camera is not waterproof. There are several places where water can get inside and do a great deal of damage. Take care to protect both body and lens from rain or splashing water. If your camera should get wet, dry it off immediately with a clean, soft cloth. • If your camera becomes completely soaked, it may malfunction. In this instance, bring it as soon as possible to an authorized Pentax service center. STORAGE: • Where to keep your camera while you are not using it is an important point. The best storage place is cool, dry, clean and well-ventilated. Because of the possible build up of humidity, it is risky to store your camera in a cabinet or closet. It's also a good idea to keep your camera in its bag or case while you are not using it. • 60

CAMERA
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING:
•
Always
keep
the
viewfinder
eyepiece,
lens
and
filters
as
clean
as
possible.
To
remove
loose
dust
and
dirt,
first
use
the
blower
and
then
the
brush.
Do
not
try
to
wipe
off
granular
dirt
or
dust
—
it's
an
excellent
way
of
scratching
the
glass.
•
Smudges,
such
as
fingerprints,
should
be
carefully
wiped
away
with
either
lens
tissue
or
a
clean,
soft
cloth.
Clean,
plain
cotton
handkerchiefs
that
have
already
been
washed
a
few
times
are
particularly
good
for
this.
Breathing
on
the
lens
before
wiping
is
effective;
but
be
sure
to
wipe
away
all
moisture
completely.
Commercial
lens
cleaners
are
also
effective.
•
Never
touch
the
mirror
or
the
shutter
leaves.
Minor
dirt
or
spots
on
the
mirror
will
not
affect
the
clarity
of
your
pictures.
•
Take
care
not
to
drop
the
camera
or
knock
it
against
anything
solid.
Accidents
or
rough
handling
can
easily
damage
the
internal
mechanism,
even
though
externally
nothing
seems
to
have
been
damaged.
KEEP
YOUR
CAMERA
DRY:
•
Your
camera
is
not
waterproof.
There
are
several
places
where
water
can
get
inside
and
do
a
great
deal
of
damage.
Take
care
to
protect
both
body
and
lens
from
rain
or
splashing
water.
If
your
camera
should
get
wet,
dry
it
off
immediately
with
a
clean,
soft
cloth.
•
If
your
camera
becomes
completely
soaked,
it
may
malfunction.
In
this
instance,
bring
it
as
soon
as
possible
to
an
authorized
Pentax
service
center.
STORAGE:
•
Where
to
keep
your
camera
while
you
are
not
using
it
is
an
important
point.
The
best
storage
place
is
cool,
dry,
clean
and
well
-ventilated.
Because
of
the
possible
build
up
of
humidity,
it
is
risky
to
store
your
camera
in
a
cabinet
or
closet.
It's
also
a
good
idea
to
keep
your
camera
in
its
bag
or
case
while
you
are
not
using
it.
