• This camera cannot be used underwater.
• Immediately after using the camera, be sure to carefully wipe off any water or dirt
with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not place the camera directly on the sand at a beach or other location. Exposure
to large amounts of sand or dirt may damage the camera.
• The inside of the camera is not water resistant. Before using the camera, be sure
the terminal cover and battery/card cover are securely closed.
When replacing the battery or inserting or removing the memory card, carefully
wipe off any water or dirt and open the cover in a location where the camera is not
exposed to water or dirt. If water, sand, or dirt gets inside the camera, the camera
may become damaged.
• If the camera becomes exposed to large amounts of dirt or salt water, make sure
that the power is off and the terminal cover and battery/card cover are securely
closed, and then carefully rinse off the camera under slowly running tap water or in
a shallow basin filled with fresh water for two to three minutes.
• This camera should not be immersed in water for periods longer than thirty minutes
at a time or exposed to extreme water pressure.
• Do not clean the camera with soapy water, mild detergent, or alcohol as this may
reduce the effectiveness of the camera’s water-resistant feature. Be careful not to
expose the camera to coffee or other beverages, as this may also reduce the
effectiveness of the camera’s water-resistant feature.
• Before using the camera, be sure to wipe off any sand or debris from the water-
resistant packing and the areas between the camera and the packing. Any
scratches or damage to the packing or the areas between the camera and the
packing or any peeling of the packing may reduce the effectiveness of the camera’s
water-resistant feature. If this should occur, please call the Pentax Customer
Service Department.
