PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR CAMERA
Precautions when taking pictures
• Do not use the camera where it may come in
contact with rain, water or any other liquid,
because the camera is not weather, water, or liq¬
uid 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 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 the camera to strong
vibrations, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to
protect the camera when carrying it In a motor¬
cycle, car, boat, etc.
• Condensation on the Interior or the exterior of
the camera may be extremely harmful to the
camera mechanism as it may cause rust and /or
corrosion. 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 tem¬
perature difference are minimized. Do not
remove it from the bag until temperature has sta¬
bilized.
Precautions for storage
• Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in
places where temperature and humidity are high
such as in a car.
• Do not store the camera in a closet with moth¬
balls or in a case where chemicals are handled.
Store it in a place with good air circulation to pre¬
vent fungus growth.
Precautions for proper care
• Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust
accumulated on the lens or the viewfinder win¬
dow.
• Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alco¬
hol or benzene to clean the camera. To clean the
external camera surfaces, - but not glass sur¬
faces; using a dry or silicone-treated cloth is rec¬
ommended.
