Pentax K1000 User Manual

If your camera should get wet, dry it off
immediately with a clean, soft cloth .
Once a camera has become completely soaked,
there
is often nothing that can be done to make
it right again. However, in such a case, take
your camera as soon as possible to an
authorized Asahi Pentax Service Center.
5.
Where to keep your camera while you are
not using it is an important point. The best
storage
place is cool, dry, clean and well-
ventilated. Because
of the possible build-up
of humidity, it is risky to store your camera
in a cabinet
or closet. It's also a good idea to
keep your camera in its bag or case while you
are not using it .
6.
When mounting your camera on a tripod, be
sure the
tripod screw is no longer than 5.5mm.
This is the depth of the tripod screw hole on
your camera. If you use a longer screw, you
will probably puncture the bottom of the
hole, after which the camera will not function
properly.
