TAKING CARE OF YOUR CAMERA Your Pentax camera is a sophisticated, highprecision, and reliable mechanism. Handle it with care. • 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 viewfin- der. • 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 pe- riods in places where temperature and humidity are high, such as in a car. • 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. 42 0 O • The temperature range at which this 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,
high
-
precision,
and
reliable
mechanism.
Handle
it
with
care.
•
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
motorcycle,
car,
boat,
etc.
•
Use
a
blower
and
lens
brush
to
remove
dust
accumulated
on
the
lens
or
viewfin-
der.
•
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
pe-
riods
in
places
where
temperature
and
humidity
are
high,
such
as
in
a
car.
•
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
42
bag.
