About the Battery and Charger • Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid storing in high temperatures. • If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery's usage span. • Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended. Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera • The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable. • Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high. • As this camera is not waterproof, do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other liquid. • Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships. If the camera is subjected to strong 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 monitor may appear black under high temperatures, but will return to normal as temperatures normalize. • 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. • Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and remove it after temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized. • Be careful not to allow dirt, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases or salt to enter the camera as this may damage the camera. Wipe away any raindrops or water droplets and allow the camera to dry. • Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause breakage or malfunction. • Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may damage the exterior of the camera or the display. • When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket on the camera. 5
