TAKING CARE OF YOUR CAMERA
Your Pentax camera is a sophisticated, high-
precision, and reliable mechanism. Handle it
with care.
• Be careful not to subject it to strong vibra¬
tions, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to
protect the camera when carrying it in a
motorcycle, car, boat, etc.
• Use a blower and lens brush to remove
dust accumulated on the lens or viewfin¬
der.
• Do not store the camera in a closet with
mothballs or in a case where chemicals are
handled. Store it in a place with good air
circulation to prevent the fungus growth.
• Avoid leaving the camera for extended pe¬
riods in places where temperature and
humidity are high, such as in a car.
• Condensation on the interior or the exterior
of the camera may be extremely harmful to
the camera mechanism as it may cause
rust. Furthermore, if the camera is taken
from warm temperature to a subfreezing
one or vice versa, the formation of icelets
may cause damage. In such a case, put the
camera into a case or plastic bag so that
any changes in temperature will be as
gradual as possible. After the temperature
difference is minimized, take it out of the
• The temperature range at which this cam¬
era functions properly is 50^C to -10°C
(122°F to 14°F).
• Electrical problems may often be caused
by water, dirt or dust at points of electrical
contact. Also check for battery leakage,
traces of dirt or grease, or corrosion due to
salinity or gas. If you cannot correct the
problem, have your camera inspected at a
Pentax service center. Repairs of this na¬
ture are not covered under the terms of the
warranty and charges may be assessed.
