TAKING CARE OF YOUR CAMERA Your Pentax camera is a sophisticated, precision instrument built to give long-lasting, reliable service. It should serve you well if you handle and take care of it properly. • Be careful not to subject it to strong vibra- tions, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera when carrying in a motorcycle, car, boat, etc. • Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or viewfin- der. • Avoid storing the camera in a wardrobe where mothballs are put among clothes or in a laboratory containing chemicals. The camera should always be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. • Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in places where temperature and humidity are high, such as in a car. • If the camera is brought into a warm room from the cold outdoors, condensation may occur in the inside and on the outside of the camera. In such a case, put the camera into a case or plastic bag so that change in temperature will be as gradual as possible. After the temperature difference is minimized, take it out of the bag. 34 ,d I • The temperature range in which the camera functions properly is 50°C to -10°C (122°F to 14°F). • 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 problem, 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.

TAKING
CARE
OF
YOUR
CAMERA
Your
Pentax
camera
is
a
sophisticated,
preci-
sion
instrument
built
to
give
long-lasting,
reli-
able
service.
It
should
serve
you
well
if
you
handle
and
take
care
of
it
properly.
•
Be
careful
not
to
subject
it
to
strong
vibra-
tions,
shock
or
pressure.
Use
a
cushion
to
protect
the
camera
when
carrying
in
a
mo-
torcycle,
car,
boat,
etc.
•
Use
a
blower
and
lens
brush
to
remove
dust
accumulated
on
the
lens
or
viewfin-
der.
•
Avoid
storing
the
camera
in
a
wardrobe
where
mothballs
are
put
among
clothes
or
in
a
laboratory
containing
chemicals.
The
camera
should
always
be
stored
in
a
cool,
dry,
well
-ventilated
place.
•
Avoid
leaving
the
camera
for
extended
pe-
riods
in
places
where
temperature
and
hu-
midity
are
high,
such
as
in
a
car.
•
If
the
camera
is
brought
into
a
warm
room
from
the
cold
outdoors,
condensation
may
occur
in
the
inside
and
on
the
outside
of
the
camera.
In
such
a
case,
put
the
camera
into
a
case
or
plastic
bag
so
that
change
in
temperature
will
be
as
gradual
as
possible.
After
the
temperature
difference
is
mini-
mized,
take
it
out
of
the
bag.

era
functions
properly
is
50°C
