• 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 during 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 
(SD Memory Card), etc.

• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or 

benzene.

• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular care 

should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.

• This camera is not waterproof. Do not use this camera where it might come 

in contact with rain, water, or any other liquid.

• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be 

avoided. Remove the camera from its case and store in a well-ventilated 
place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or 

pressure as this may cause damage or malfunction. Place the camera on 
a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of 
a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is subjected to substantial 
vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest PENTAX 
Service Center and have it checked.

• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C 

(32°F to 104°F).

• The liquid crystal display will become black at a high temperature but will 

return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.

• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low 

temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not 
a fault.

• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain 

high performance.

• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may 

form on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera 
in a bag or plastic bag, and take the camera out when the difference in 
temperature has subsided.
