Pentax SF1 - Precautions on CENTIC Panels LCD Display; And Backup Circuits for LCD Display

—10^C. Sudden changes in temperature will often
cause moisture to condense inside or outside your
camera. This is a possible source of rust, which may
be extremely harmful to the mechanism.
Furthermore, if the camera is taken from a warm
temperature to a sub-freezing one, further damage
may result from the formation of icelets. Thus, sudden
temperature changes should be avoided as much as
possible. As a guide, a temperature change of 10°C
should be allowed to take place gradually over a
period of at least 30 minutes. If this is not possible,
keeping the camera in its case or bag will help
somewhat in minimizing the effects of a rapid
temperature change.
5. Vibration experienced when you are traveling
in a car, plane, or ship, can cause screws to loosen.
To minimize this problem use foam-rubber padding
about one inch thick to line the buttom of your
camera bag.
6. When mounting your camera on a tripod, make sure
the tripod screw is no longer than 5.5mm, which is the
depth of your camera's tripod socket. If you use
a longer screw, you wilt possibly puncture the tripod
socket, after which the camera will not function
properly.
Precautions on CEIMTIC Panel's LCD Display
• In temperatures over approximately 60°C, the CENTIC
panel's LCD display may darken. It will return to its
normal condition under normal temperatures.
• In low temperatures, the LCD display may respond
more slowly. This is due to the characteristics of the
liquid used and is not a malfunction.
• When a battery grip is detached, the CENTIC pane!
shows its entire display. It will return to its normal
display condition after proper operation is resumed.
Backup Circuits for LCD Display
Even when the battery is removed for replacement
during shooting, the built-in backup circuits retains data
such as the frame number and the ISO film speed in
memory until a new battery is inserted.
