These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off
any rain or water drops.

Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, or
benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
• Please contact a PENTAX Service Center for professional cleaning of the
CMOS sensor. (This will involve a fee.)
Storing Your Camera
• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated
place.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static
electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where it
may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain
high performance.
