Your
camera
is
not
waterproof.
There
are
several
places
where
water
can
get
inside
and
do
a

of
damage.
Take
care
to
protect
both

from

or
splashing
water.
If
your
camera
should
get
wet,
dry
it
off
immediately
with
a

soft
cloth.
Once
a
camera
has
become
completely

there
is
often
nothing
that

done
to
make
it
right
again.
However,
in
such
a

take
your

as

as

to
an
authorized
Pentax
Service
Center.
Where
to

while

is
an

point.
The

Because

the
