PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR CAMERA OM Your Pentax camera is a high-precision mechanism. Handle it with great care. Precautions when taking pictures • Do not use the camera where it may come in con- tact with rain, water, or any other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant. Should the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth. • Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit solid objects. If the camera suffers a shock or impact, take it to a Pentax service center for inspection. • Be careful not to subject the camera 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. Do not remove it from the bag until 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. Precautions 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 moth balls or in an area where chemicals are handled. Store it in a place with good dry air circulation to prevent the growth of fungus. Precautions for proper care • Never touch the shutter curtain or mirror with your finger or any other object. • Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust accu- mulated on the lens or viewfinder. • Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alcohol or benzene to clean the camera. • Electrical problems may often be caused by water, dirt or dust at points of electrical contact. Also check for battery leakage, traces of dirt or grease, or corrosion due to salinity or gas. If you cannot correct the problems, have your camera inspected at a Pentax service center. Repairs of this nature are not covered under the terms of the warranty and charges may be assessed.

PRECAUTIONS
FOR
YOUR

OM
Your
Pentax
camera
is
a

•
Do
not
use
the
camera
where
it
may
come
in
con-
tact
with
rain,
water,
or
any
other
liquid,
because
the
camera
is
not
weather,
water,
or
liquid
resis-
tant.
Should
the
camera
get
wet
from
rain,
splash-
ing
water,
or
any
other
liquid wipe
it
off
immediately
with
a
dry
soft
cloth.
•
Do
not
drop
the
camera
or
allow
it
to
hit
solid
ob-
jects.
If
the
camera
suffers
a
shock
or
impact,
take
it
to
a
Pentax
service
center
for
inspection.
•
Be
careful
not
to
subject
the
camera
to
strong
vi-
brations,
shock
or
pressure.
Use
a
cushion
to
pro-
tect
the
camera
when
carrying
it
in
a
motorcycle,
car,
boat,
etc.
•
Condensation
on
the
interior
or
exterior
of
the
cam-
era
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.
Do
not
remove
it
from
the
bag
until
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.
Precautions
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
moth
balls
or
in
an
area
where
chemicals
are
handled.
Store
it
in
a
place
with
good
dry
air
circulation
to
prevent
the
growth
of
fungus.
Precautions
for
proper
care
•
Never
touch
the
shutter
curtain
or
mirror
with
your
finger
or
any
other
object.
•
Use
a
blower
and
lens
brush
to
remove
dust
accu-
mulated
on
the
lens
or
viewfinder.
•
Never
use
solvents
such
as
paint
thinner,
alcohol
or
benzene
to
clean
the
camera.
•
Electrical
problems
may
often
be
caused
by
water,
dirt
or
dust
at
points
of
electrical
contact.
Also
check
for
battery
leakage,
traces
of
dirt
or
grease,
or
corrosion
due
to
salinity
or
gas.
If
you
cannot
correct
the
problems,
have
your
camera
inspected
at
a
Pentax
service
center.
Repairs
of
this
nature
are
not
covered
under
the
terms
of
the
