TAKING CARE OF YOUR CAMERA
Your Pentax camera is a sophisticated, precision
instrument built to give long-lasting, reliable service.
It should serve you well if you handle and take care
of it properly.
• The surface of the lens barrel is specially coated so
the zoom lens can smoothly zoom in and out. Never
use solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner or
benzine to clean It. If there is dirt, wipe it off with
a cloth moistened with water, and then with a soft
dry cloth.
• Be careful not to subject it to strong vibrations,
shock or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the
camera when carrying in a motorcycle, car, boat,
etc.
• Use a blower and lens brush .to remove dust
accumulated on the lens or viewfinder.
• Avoid storing the camera in a wardrobe where a
mothball is put among the clothes or in a laboratory
containing chemicals that
can
cause serious
damage to it. Keep it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
place.
• Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in
places where temperature and humidity are high,
such as in a car.
• If the camera is brought into a warm room from the
cold outdoors, condensation may occur in the inside
and on the outside of the camera. In such a case,
put the camera into a case or plastic bag so that
change in temperature will be as gradual as
possible.
After the temperature difference is
minimized, take it out of the bag.
