Although we have carefully designed this camera for safe operation, please be sure to fol-
low the following precautions.
A WARNING
This mark indicates precautions that if not followed, could result in
serious injury to the operator.
A CAUTION
This mark indicates precautions that, if not followed, could result in
minor or medium injury to the operator or damage to the equipment.
A WARNING
«The electric circuits inside the camera
contain high voltage working parts. Never
attempt to disassemble the camera your-
self.
+ Never touch internal parts of the camera
if they become exposed, as there is dan-
ger of electric shock.
+ Wrapping the strap around your neck is
dangerous.Make sure that small children
do not the strap caught their neck.
- Be sure to store batteries out of the reach
of children. Seek medical assistance
immediately if accidentally swallowed.
A CAUTION
- Do not use the flash near anyone's eyes,
as it may hurt them. Be particularly care-
ful with the flash around infants.
* Never try to disassemble, short or
recharge the battery. Also, do not dispose
of the battery in fire, as it may explode.
- Remove the battery from the camera
immediately if it becomes hot or begins to
smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself
during removal.
PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR CAMERA
Precautions when taking pictures
- Do not allow the camera to get wet. Should the
camera get wet wipe it off immediately with a
dry soft cloth.
* Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit a solid
object. If the camera suffers a severe shock or
impact, take it to a Pentax service center for
inspection.
* Be careful not to subject the camera to strong
vibrations, shock or pressure. Cushion the
camera during transportation.
- Condensation on the interior or the exterior of
the camera may be harmful to the camera
mechanism. When taking the camera from a
warm temperature to a subfreezing one or vice
versa, put the camera into a case or plastic
bag so that any changes in temperature differ-
ence is minimized. Do not remove it from the
bag until the temperature has stabilized.
Regular size color prints may cut off what
appears on the extreme edges of the film
frame. Compose your picture with a margin of
safety at the edges.
Precautions for storage
* Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods
in places where temperature and humidity are
high, such as in a car.
* Store the camera in a cool, dry place with good
air circulation that is free of dirt, dust, or chem-
icals.
Precautions for proper care
* Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust
accumulated on the lens or the viewfinder win-
dow.
* To clean the external camera surfaces - but not
glass surfaces - use a dry or silicone-treated
cloth.
* Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alco-
hol or benzene to clean the camera.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY USAGE
Other precautions
- The temperature range at which this camera
functions properly is 50°C to -10°C (122°F to
14°F).
+ The PENTAX warranty provided is only for the
repair of defects in materials or workmanship.
Damage of any kind cannot be repaired at no
charge under the term of the warranty. If the
difficulty is caused as a direct result of the
product being used in conditions contrary to
the instructions outlined in this manual,
charges will be assessed or a repair quotation
will be provided.
LCD (Liquid-crystal display)
+ When the LCD is exposed to high tempera-
tures over about 60°C, it may blacken, but
when the temperature normalizes, it will return
to normal.
“The LCD may also slow down in response to
lower temperatures, but this is a normal char-
acteristic of an LCD.
- In low light situations, the illuminator of the
LCD panel lights up for 4sec when the camera
operates.
+ Use one 3V lithium battery, type CR-2 or the
equivalent.
« Misuse of a battery can cause hazards such as
leakage, overheating, explosions, etc. The bat-
tery should be inserted with the “+” and "-”
sides facing correctly.
- Never try to disassemble, short or recharge the
battery. Do not dispose of the battery in fire.
- Battery performance may be temporarily hin-
dered in low temperatures, but will recover in
normal temperatures.
+ Be sure to store batteries out of the reach of
children. Seek medical assistance immediately
if accidentally swallowed.
Keep a spare battery on hand for replacement
convenience when shooting outdoors or while
traveling.

When the camera-to-subject-distance is closer
than 1.2m, compose the scene within this frame.
* When the camera-to-subject distance is less
than 1.2m, the panorama photography is not
recommended due to a substantial difference
between what you see through the viewfinder
verses the picture you will obtain the actual pic-
ture taking area.

rized bona fide photographic distribution chan-
nels are guaranteed against defects of material
or workmanship for a period of twelve months
from date of purchase. Service will be rendered,
and defective parts will be replaced without cost
to you within that period, provided the equip-
ment does not show evidence of impact, sand or
liquid damage, mishandling, tampering, battery
or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to
operating instructions, or modification by an
unauthorized repair shop. The manufacturer or
its authorized representatives shall not be liable
for any repair or alterations except those made
with its written consent and shall not be liable for
damages from delay or loss of use or from other
indirect or consequential damages of any kind,
whether caused by defective material or work-
manship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed
that the liability of the manufacturer or its repre-
sentatives under all guarantees or warranties,

Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any Pentax which proves defective during the
12 month warranty period should be returned to
the dealer from whom you purchased the equip-
ment or to the manufacturer. If there is no repre-
sentative of the manufacturer in your country,
send the equipment to the manufacturer with
postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a con-
siderable length of time before the equipment
can be returned to you owing to the complicated
customs procedures required. If the equipment
is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and
parts replaced free of charge, and the equip-
ment will be returned to you upon completion of
servicing. If the equipment is not covered by
warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or
of its representatives will apply. Shipping
charges are to be borne by the owner. If your
Pentax was purchased outside of the country
where you wish to have it serviced during the
warranty period, regular handling and servicing
fees may be charged by the manufacturer's rep-
resentatives in that country. Notwithstanding
this, your Pentax returned to the manufacturer
will be serviced free of charge according to this
procedure and warranty policy.
In any case, however, shipping charges and
customs clearance fees are to be borne by the
sender. To prove the date of your purchase
when required, please keep the receipts or bills
covering the purchase of your equipment for at
least a year. Before sending your equipment for
servicing, please make sure that you are send-
ing it to the manufacture’s authorized represen-
tatives or their approved repair shops, unless
you are sending it directly to the manufacturer.
Always obtain a quotation for the service
charge, and only after you accept the quoted
service charge, instruct the service station to
proceed with the servicing.
This warranty does not apply to Pentax prod-
ucts purchased in the United States.
Therefore, for warranty information regard-
ing Pentax products purchased in the United
States, please read the warranty card sup-
plied with your product.
