TAKING CARE OF YOUR CAMERA Your Pentax camera is a sophisticated, high-precision, and reliable mechanism. Handle it with great care. • Do not use the camera in a place where the camera may come in contact with rain or water because the camera is not weatherresistant. Should the camera get wet from rain or splashing water, wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth. • Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit a solid object. If the camera suffers a severe shock or impact, take it to a Pentax service center for inspection. • Be careful not to subject it to strong vibrations, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera when carrying it in a motorcycle, car, boat, etc. • Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or viewfinder. • Do not store the camera in a closet with mothballs or in a case where chemicals are handled. Store it in a place with good air circulation to prevent the fungus growth. • Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in places where temperature and humidity are high, such as in a car. O do • Condensation on the interior or the exterior of the camera may be extremely harmful to the camera mechanism as it may cause rust. Furthermore, if the camera is taken from warm temperature to a subfreezing one or vice versa, the formation of icelets may cause damage. In such a case, put the camera into a case or plastic bag so that any changes in temperature will be as gradual as possible. After the temperature difference is minimized, take it out of the bag. 40

TAKING
CARE
OF
YOUR
CAMERA
Your
Pentax
camera
is
a
sophisticated,
high
-precision,
and
reliable
mechanism.
Handle
it
with
great
care.
•
Do
not
use
the
camera
in
a
place
where
the
camera
may
come
in
contact
with
rain
or
water
because
the
camera
is
not
weather
-
resistant.
Should
the
camera
get
wet
from
rain
or
splashing
water,
wipe
it
off
immediately
with
a
dry
soft
cloth.
•
Do
not
drop
the
camera
or
allow
it
to
hit
a
solid
object.
If
the
camera
suffers
a
severe
shock
or
impact,
take
it
to
a
Pentax
service
center
for
inspection.
•
Be
careful
not
to
subject
it
to
strong
vibra-
tions,
shock
or
pressure.
Use
a
cushion
to
protect
the
camera
when
carrying
it
in
a
mo-
torcycle,
car,
boat,
etc.
•
Use
a
blower
and
lens
brush
to
remove
dust
accumulated
on
the
lens
or
viewfinder.
•
Do
not
store
the
camera
in
a
closet
with
mothballs
or
in
a
case
where
chemicals
are
handled.
Store
it
in
a
place
with
good
air
circulation
to
prevent
the
fungus
growth.
•
Avoid
leaving
the
camera
for
extended
peri-
ods
in
places
where
temperature
and
humidi-
ty
are
high,
such
as
in
a
car.

O
d
o
•
Condensation
on
the
interior
or
the
exterior
of
the
camera
may
be
extremely
harmful
to
the
camera
mechanism
as
it
may
cause
rust.
Fur-
thermore,
if
the
camera
is
taken
from
warm
temperature
to
a
subfreezing
one
or
vice
versa,
the
formation
of
icelets
may
cause
damage.
In
such
a
case,
put
the
camera
into
a
case
or
plastic
bag
so
that
any
changes
in
temperature
will
be
as
gradual
as
possible.
After
the
temperature
difference
is
mini-
mized,
take
it
out
of
the
bag.
