Care to be Taken During Handling • When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad. • When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or during traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc. • The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable. • Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or benzene. • Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside. • This camera is not waterproof. Do not use this camera where it might come in contact with rain, water, or any other liquid. • Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be avoided. Remove the camera from its case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage. • Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked. • The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). • The liquid crystal display will become black at a high temperature but will return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to. • The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault. • Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high performance. 4
