• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks

or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof
performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the
camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the
camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take
your camera to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.

• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C

(32°F to 104°F).

• The liquid crystal display will become black at a high temperature but will

return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.

• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low

temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not
a fault.

• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain

high performance.

• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation

may form on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the
camera in a bag or plastic bag, and take the camera out when the
difference in temperature has subsided.
