PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR CAMERA Precautions when taking pictures • Do not use the camera where it 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. • Condensation on the interior or the exterior of the camera may be extremely harmful to the camera mechanism as it may cause rust and / or corrosion. 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 temperature difference is minimized, the camera may be removed from the bag. • Do not apply force to the zoom lens; do not place the camera with lens facing downward. • Dirt, mud, sand, moisture, toxic gas, water, salt water, etc., penetrating the inside of the camera may cause damage or render it inoperable. Damage of any kind will not be repaired under the terms of the warranty and charges may be assessed. Therefore, handle the camera with great care. Precautions for proper care • Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or the viewfinder window. • Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alcohol or benzine to clean the camera. To clean the external camera surfaces, - but not glass surfaces; using a dry or silicone -treated cloth is recommended. • The electric circuitry inside the camera containts high voltage working parts. Never attempt to disassemble the camera. 5
