• 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.
• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using
a tripod.
• Do not clean the camera 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.)
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain
high performance.
• 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.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static
electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where
it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
