• Close the battery/card and terminal covers properly until they click.
Otherwise water may get in and damage the camera.
• Avoid opening the battery/card and terminal covers when near the
waterside or with wet hands. Wait until the camera is completely dry before
changing the battery or the SD Memory Card. Avoid changing the battery
or card where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that
your hands are dry.
• The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap and
slip the strap over your wrist when using the camera in or near water.
• To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the lens
is protected by glass. As any dirt or water on the glass will affect the quality
of pictures taken, the glass should be kept clean at all times.
• Do not use the camera deeper than 10 meters underwater. Do not use the
camera underwater for more than 120 minutes consecutively.
• Do not open the battery/card and terminal covers underwater.
• Do not use in hot water or in a hot spring.
• Do not apply excessive force to the camera, for example diving into water
with it. Doing so may compromise the waterproof performance of the
camera or cause the covers to open.
• Leaving the camera on the sand at the beach may cause the camera to
exceed its operating temperature or cause the speaker or microphone to
become blocked with sand.
• Avoid subjecting the camera to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure
as this may cause a loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is
subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera
to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
• Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause
discoloration of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off
immediately with warm water.
• Sudden and extreme changes in temperature may cause condensation to
form in and on the camera. Keep the camera in a bag or case to reduce the
difference in temperature.
