Care to be Taken During Handling

• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.

• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or during traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media

(SD Memory Card), etc.

• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.

• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or benzene.

• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.

• This camera is not waterproof. Do not use this camera where it might come in contact with rain, water, or any other liquid.

• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be avoided. Remove the camera from its case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure as this may cause damage or malfunction. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest PENTAX

Service Center and have it checked.

• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C

(32°F to 104°F).

• The liquid crystal display will become black at a high temperature but will return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.

• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault.

• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high performance.

• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag, and take the camera out when the difference in temperature has subsided.

OptioP70_QSG.fm Page 5 Wednesday, January 21, 2009 9:46 AM

• Please note that formatting an SD Memory Card or the built-in memory will delete all data; however it may still be possible to recover that data using off-the-shelf data recovery software. Please manage your camera memory at your own risk.

• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause breakage or malfunction.

• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may damage the exterior of the camera or the display.

• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket on the camera.

• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the battery charger D-BC88. Do not use it with any other equipment.

• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance.

Avoid storing it especially in high temperatures.

• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s service life.

• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.
