TAKING CARE OF YOUR CAMERA Your Pentax camera is a sophisticated, highprecision, and reliable mechanism. Handle it with great care. • 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. • 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 mini mized, take it out of the bag. 42 tri tW o 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 ofelectrical contact.
