Precautions for Your Camera

Your Pentax camera is a high-precision mecha-

nism. Handle it with great care.

Precautions when taking pictures

• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact

with rain, water, or any other liquid, because the cam-

era 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.

lf 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 vibra-

tions, 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 cam-

era may be extremely harmful to the camera mecha-

nism as it may cause rust. Furthermore, if the camera

is taken from warm temperature to a subfreezing one

or vice versa, the formation of ice crystals may cause

damage. In such a case, put the camera into a case

or plastic bag so that temperature difference is mini-

mized. Do not remove it from the bag until 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.

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 mothballs or

in an areas 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 corro-

sion 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.
