Care must be taken to avoid dropping the camera or striking it against a solid object-wall, bookcase, etc. Should this happen, it is recommended that the camera be taken to one of the nearest Pentax service facilities for detailed inspection of any possible mechanical damage. 2. Dust, dirt and other foreign objects appearing on the lens, viewfinder or the auto focusing windows should be removed as soon as possible for it will interfere with the performance of your camera. It is recommended that a commercial lens blower or brush-available at camera dealers-be employed. This means is normally sufficient to accomplish simple cleaning, Smudges, such as fingerprints, should be wiped off carefully by using a soft lens tissue or cotton cloth impregnated with a mild lens cleaning liquid compound. 3. Solvents, such as thinners or alcohol, should not be used to clean the components-seepage may cause irreparable damage to the special lens sealing and adhesive compound between the glass. 4. If the camera gets wet, the camera should be wiped by using a soft, dry cloth. Following lengthy seashore use, the camera should be carefully cleaned, again, using a soft cloth- preferably, cotton, to remove the salt traces. 5. Cameras should not be subjected to high temperatures and humidity. For example: A car interior or its trunk compartment is often subjected to a high degree of heat. It is also possibly damaging to store your camera in a cabinet or closet containing certain chemicals-insecticides, such as naphthaline-for any length of time. 6. Should the camera be subjected to immersion in water (salt water or fresh water), for example, by being dropped into a lake or the ocean, the unit will malfunction: or, at worst, become irreparable. It is recommended that the camera be brought into the nearest Pentax servicing facility for a thorough inspection and possible repair/overhaul as soon as possible.
