    We have paid close attention to the safety of this camera. When using this 
    camera, we request your special attention regarding items marked with the 
    following symbols.
     Warning
    • Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are present inside the camera, with the risk of electric shock.
    • If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging  the camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is a risk of electric 
    shock.
    • Do not aim the camera at the sun or other strong light sources when  taking pictures or leave the camera sitting in direct sunlight with the lens 
    cap off. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction or cause a fire.
    • Do not look at the sun or other strong light sources through the lens.  Doing so may lead to a loss of eyesight or cause vision to be impaired.

     Warning
    • Do not place the camera and its accessories within the reach of small children.
    1. If the product falls or is operated accidentally, it may cause serious  personal injuries. 
    2. Wrapping the strap around a neck may cause suffocation. 
    3. To avoid the risk of a small accessory such as the battery or memory  cards from being swallowed by mistake, keep them out of the reach 
    of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if an accessory 
    is accidentally swallowed. • When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is 
    included in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems 
    abroad.
    • When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still  working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as 
    at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be 
    guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a 
    computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or 
    recording media (memory cards), etc.
    • To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully  charged state or in high temperatures. 
    • If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, 
    the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
    • Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is  recommended. 
    • The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for  the battery charger D-BC90. Do not use it with other devices.
    • Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not  leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.

    • The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to  normal at normal temperatures.
    • The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due  to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction. 
    • Sudden temperature ch anges will cause condensat ion on the inside and 
    outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, 
    and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings are 
    equalized. 
    • Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.  These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry 
    off any rain or water drops.
    • Do not press the monitor with excessive force. This could cause it to  break or malfunction.

    All our cameras purchased through authorized bona fide 
    photographic distribution channels are guaranteed against 
    defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve 
    months from the date of your purchase. Service will be 
    rendered, and defective parts will be replaced without cost to 
    you within that period, provided the camera does not show 
    evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mishandling, 
    tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to 
    operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair 
    shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall 
    not be liable for any repair or alterations except those made with 
    its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from 
    delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequential 
    damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or 
    workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the 
    liability of the manufacturer or its representatives under all 
    guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or implied, is 
    strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore 
    provided. No refunds will be made on repairs by non-authorized 
    service facilities.
    Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
    Any camera which proves defective during the 12-month 
    warranty period should be returned to the dealer from whom you 
    purchased the camera or to the manufacturer. If there are no 
    representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the 
    camera to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, 
    it will take a considerable length of time before the camera can 
    be returned to you owing to the complicated customs 
    procedures required. If the camera is covered by warranty, 
    repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the 
    camera will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If 
    the camera is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the 
    manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping 
    charges are to be borne by the owner. If your camera was 
    purchased outside of the country where you wish to have it 
    serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s 
    representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your 
    camera returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of 
    charge according to this procedure and warranty policy. In any 
    case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees 
    to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase 
    when required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the 
    purchase of your camera for at least a year. Before sending 
    your camera for servicing, please make sure that you are 
    sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized representatives or 
    their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly 
    to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service 
    charge, and only after you accept the quoted service charge, 
    instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.
    • This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s 
    statutory rights.
    • The local warranty policies available from our 
    distributors in some countries can supersede this 
    warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend that you 
    review the warranty card supplied with your product at 
    the time of purchase, or contact our distributor in your 
    country for more information and to receive a copy of 
    the warranty policy.
    WARRANTY POLICY
    About PENTAX K-3 Premium Silver Edition
