• Always confirm that the camera is working properly when the camera has not been

used for a long time, or before important occasions (weddings, trips, etc.). PENTAX
is not responsible for consequential damages (costs incurred for photography, lost
profits, etc.) arising from failure of this product.

• The lens on this camera is not exchangeable. The lens is not removable.
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, or benzene.
• Do not subject to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a

vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.

• Do not store the camera with preservatives and chemicals. Storage in high

temperatures and high humidity can cause molding. Remove from case and store
in a dry and well-ventilated location.

• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion

to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships.

• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C.
• The LCD display may appear black under high temperatures, but will return to

normal as temperatures normalize.

• The LCD display may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to

liquid crystal properties, and is not a fault.

• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high

performance.

• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of

the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, retrieving the camera
after decreasing the temperature difference.

• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These

could cause a camera breakdown. Wipe dry any rain or water drops on the camera.

• See “Precautions when using an SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard” (p.18) for

details on the SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard.

• Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause breakage or

malfunction.
