    Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera 
    						
    							5• 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 (32°F to 104°F).
    • 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 changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of 
    the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and remove the camera 
    after temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized.
    • Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These could 
    cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.
    • Please do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it to break or 
    malfunction.
    • Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using a tripod.
    • 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 or viewfinder. 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.)
    • 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.
    • Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high 
    performance.
    • Refer to “Precautions When Using the SD Memory Card” (p.53) regarding the SD 
    Memory Card.
    • Please note that deleting data stored on an SD Memory Card, or formatting an SD 
    Memory Card does not completely erase the original data. Deleted files can 
    sometimes be recovered using commercially available software. It is the user’s 
    responsibility to ensure the privacy of such data.
