4.. Mo ....A.. PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR CAMERA Your Pentax camera is a high-precision mechanism. Handle it with great care. Precautions when taking pictures • Do not use the camera where it may come in.contact with rain, water, or any other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant. Should the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth. • Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit solid objects. If the camera suffers a shock or impact, take it to a Pentax service center for inspection. • Be careful not to subject the camera to strong vibrations, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera when carrying it in a motorcycle, car, boat, etc. • Condensation on the interior or 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 difference is minimized. Do not remove it from the bag until temperature has stabilized. • Regular size color prints may cut off what appears on the extreme edges of the film frame. Compose your picture with a margin of safety at the edges. Precautions for storage • Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in places where the humidity and temperature are very high, such as in a car. • Do not store the camera in a closet with moth balls or in an area where chemicals are handled. Store it in a place with good dry air circulation to prevent the growth of fungus. Precautions for proper care • Never touch the shutter curtain or mirror with your finger or any other object. • Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or viewfinder. • Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alcohol or benzene to clean the camera. • Electrical problems may often be caused by water, dirt or dust at points of electrical contact. Also check for battery leakage, traces of dirt or grease, or corrosion due to salinity or gas. If you cannot correct the problems, have your camera inspected at a Pentax service center. Repairs of this nature are not covered under the terms of the warranty and charges may be assessed. Other precautions • The temperature range at which this camera functions properly is 50°C to -10°C (122°F to 14.F). • A camera which has been submerged in water usually cannot be repaired. If such an accident should occur, it is advisable to contact a Pentax Service Center immediately. •To maintain optimum performance, it is recommended that the camera be inspected every one or two years. If the camera has not been used for an extended period, or is being prepared for an important photographic session, it is recommended that you have the camera inspected or test shoot with it. • Repairs deemed necessary due to usage of this product in an industrial or commercial application may not be covered under the terms of the Pentax warranty. • The PENTAX warranty provides only for the repair of defects in materials or workmanship. Damage of any kind cannot be repaired at any charge under the terms of the warranty. If the difficulty is caused as a direct result of the product being used in conditions as outlined in the "Precautions for Your Camera" section or any other operation contrary to the instructions outlined in this manual, charges will be assessed and a repair quotation will be provided. PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY USAGE • Use two 3V lithium batteries (CR2 type). • Misuse of the battery can cause hazards such as leakage, overheating, explosion, etc. The battery should be inserted correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -) marked on the battery and the camera. • Battery performance may be temporarily hindered in low temperatures, but will recover in normal temperatures. • Keep a spare battery on hand for replacement convenience when shooting outdoors or while traveling. • If the built-in flash is used continuously, the battery may become warm, but it does not mean that the battery is faulty; it is one of the battery's characteristics. • Replace the batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery brands, type or an old battery with a new one. It may cause explosion or overheating. •

a
motorcycle,
car,
boat,
etc.
•
Condensation
on
the
interior
or
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

the
formation
of
icelets
may
cause
damage.
In
such
a
case,
put
the

into
a
case
or
plastic
bag
so
that
any
changes
in
temperature
difference
is
minimized.
Do
not
remove
it
from
the
bag
until
temperature
has
stabilized.
•
Regular
size
color
prints
may
cut
off
what
appears
on
the
extreme
edges
of
the
film
frame.
Compose
your
picture
with
a
margin
of
safety
at
the
edges.
Precautions
for
storage
•
Avoid
leaving
the

such
as
in
a
car.
•
Do
not
store
the
camera
in
a
closet
with
moth
balls
or
