technique by taking the following steps:
22
1. Bring the Auto Focus Frame on your subject
and partially depress the Shutter Release Button,
and the Distance Indicator Needle will move and
the focus will be locked temporarily. {Confirm
the position of the Distance Indicator Needle
in the viewfinder. — see page 14}

e When the Shutter Release Button is depressed
partially, the Distance Indicator Needle will move
to the Zone Focus Marks, and as long as the
Button is depressed partially, the focus setting
remains locked even if the camera is pointed to
another subject. Releasing your finger from the
Button wili cancel the focus lock.
® After depressing the Shutter Release Button
partially, if you should remove your finger from
the Button to interrupt your shooting, the
Distance Indicator Needle might not return to
the ariginal position. In that case, you have no
choice but to depress the Button further to
release the shutter.
DIFFICULT AUTO-FOCUS SUBJECTS
The auto focus system of this camera may not
function properly in the situations described
below. In such cases, focus on a subject near the
actual subject you are shooting, and lock the focus
by using the focus-lock technique, then frame
the subject and shoot.
1. Black objects which are hard to reflect light
(infrared).
2. Wire netting, latticework, iron exercise-bar, etc,
with less light reflection,
3. When neon signs, fluorescent lamp, television,
sunlight coming through the trees, etc. are in or
around the Auto Focus Frame,
4. Glass panelling, mirrors, car bodies, etc. which
are glossy and reflective.
5. Fast-moving objects such as trains and cars.
6. Water jets, water surfaces, smoke, flame,
fireworks and other transparent or translucent
objects,

Your Pentax camera is a sophisticated, precision
instrument built to give long-lasting, reliable
service. |! will serve you well if you treat it right,
with proper handling and reasonable care. The
major causes of damage are: :
1. Dropping or banging the camera against
immovable objects, which can damage the
camera in many ways.
2. Water damage, particularly if the camera is
submerged in salt water. Cameras are not water-
proof! They must be protected from salt spray at
the beach, splashing of any kind, and shielded
from the rain. If your camera does get soaked,
wipe it dry immediately and rush it to a Pentax
service center.
3. Dirt and sand can cause serious damage to
the shutter and other moving parts of the camera.
Your camera needs periodic cleaning to keep it
operating properly. To remove dirt and dust, you
need lens-cleaning fluid, lens-cleaning tissues,
bulb-type ear syringe, camei’s hair brush, etc.
Never use a solvent such as thinner or alcohol.
4. One set of batteries should last a year with
average use without using flash, at normal
temperatures. Humidity and temperature extremes
should be avoided. Keep your camera out of direct
sunlight, car trunks, and glove compartments.
Shooting outdoors in winter presents a problem
since batteries won't function if they get too cold.
In cold weather carry your camera under your coat
or jacket to keep the batteries warm. The
temperatures at which this camera should function
properly are approx. 50° — 10°C.
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 bottom
of your camera bag.

All Pentax cameras purchased through authorized
bona fide photographic distribution channels are
guaranteed against defects of material or work-
manship 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 equipment has not
been abused, altered, or operated contrary to
instruction. Because the tolerances, quality, and
design compatibility of lenses other than Pentax
lenses are beyond our control, damage caused by
use of such lenses will not be covered by this
warranty policy. 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
representatives under all guarantees or warranties,
whether expressed or implied, is strictly limited
to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore
provided.

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
representative of the manufacturer in your
country, send the equipment to the manufacturer,
with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take
a considerable length of time before the equip-
ment can be returned to you owing to the
complicated customs procedures required in
Japan in importing and re-exporting photographic
equipment. If the equipment is covered by
warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced
free of charge, and the equipment 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 serviced during the warranty period,
regular handling and servicing fees may be
charged by the manufacturer's representatives in
that country. Notwithstanding this, your Pentax
returned to the manufacturer will be serviced
Е
free of charge according to this procedure and Е
warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping à
: charges and customs clearance fees are to be ;
borne by the sender. To prove the date of your E
Purchase when required, please keep the receipts t
.. or bills covering the purchase of Your equipment =
; for at least a year. Before sending your equipment .. Е
for servicing, please make sure that you are Е
sending it to the manufacturer's authorized =
representatives or their accredited repair shops, E
unless you are sending it directly to the manu-
facturer. Always obtain a quotation of the
service charge, and only after YOU accept the
quoted service charge, instruct the service station
to proceed with the servicing.
This warranty policy does not apply to Pentax
products purchased in the U.S.A., U.K., or
Canada. The local warranty policies available
from Pentax distributors in those countries
supersede this warranty policy.
