• Wrapping the strap of the camera around your neck is also dangerous, please
take care that small children do not hang the strap around their necks.

irregularity, stop using the camera immediately, remove the battery or disconnect
the AC adapter and contact your nearest Pentax service center. Continued use of
the camera may result in fire or electric shock.
• Discontinue use of the AC adapter during thunderstorms. This can cause a fire or
electrical shock.
