MED (2) PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR CAMERA a 0-4 m Vl Your Pentax camera is a high-precision mechanism. Handle it with care. Precaution when taking pictures • Do not use the camera in a place where the camera may come in contact with rain or water because the camera is not weatherresistance. 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. • 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. • Condensation on the interior or 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 difference is minimized, take it out of the bag after the temperature has stabilized. • Regular size color prints may cut off what appears on the extreme edges of the film frame. Compose your picture with a margin of safety at the edges. • When a macro or telephoto lens is used, the upper portion of the viewfinder may be darkened by the mirror. This darkening,however, does not appear on the development. Precaution for storage • Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in places where the humidity and temperature are very high such as in a car. • Do not store the camera in a closet with mothballs or in a area where chemicals are handled. Store it in a place with good air circulation to prevent the growth of fungus.

Your
Pentax
camera
is
a
high
-precision
mechanism.
Handle
it
with
care.
Precaution
when
taking
pictures
•
Do
not
use
the
camera
in
a
place
where
the
camera
may
come
in
contact
with
rain
or
water
because
the
camera
is
not
weatherresistance.
Should
the
camera
get
wet
from
rain
or
splashing
water,
wipe
it
off
imme-
diately
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.
•
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.
•
Condensation
on
the
interior
or
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
dam-
age.
In
such
a
case,
put
the
camera
into
a
case
or
plas-
tic
bag
so
that
any
changes
in
temperature
difference
is
minimized,
take
it
out
of
the
bag
after
the
tempera-
ture
has
stabilized.
•
Regular
size
color
prints
may
cut
off
what
appears
on
the
extreme
edges
of
the
film
frame.
Compose
your
picture
with
a
margin
of
safety
at
the
edges.
•
When
a
macro
or
telephoto
lens
is
used,
the
upper
portion
of
the
viewfinder
may
be
darkened
by
the
mir-
ror.
This
darkening,however,
does
not
appear
on
the
development.
Precaution
for
storage
•
Avoid
leaving
the
camera
for
extended
periods
in
places
where
the
humidity
and
temperature
are
very
high
such
as
in
a
car.
•
Do
not
store
the
camera
in
a
closet
with
mothballs
or
in
a
area
where
chemicals
are
handled.
Store
it
in
a
place
with
good
air
circulation
to
prevent
the
growth
of
fungus.
