Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Using Your Camera

• 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 when 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.

About the Battery and Battery Charger

• 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.

• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the battery charger D-BC92. Do not use it with any other equipment.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

• Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof performance. 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 -10°C to 40°C

(14°F to 104°F).

• The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at normal temperatures.

5

6

• 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 malfunction.

• 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.

• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts.

These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.

• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause it to break 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.

Cleaning Your Camera

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

• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.

Storing Your Camera

• Avoid storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled.

Remove the camera from its case and store it in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.

• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.

• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

Other Precautions

• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high performance.

• Please note that deleting data, or formatting the SD Memory Cards or the built-in memory does not completely erase the original data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered using commercially available software. It is user’s responsibility to ensure the privacy of such data.

• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch. Setting the switch to

LOCK prevents new data from being recorded on the card, the stored data from being deleted, and the card from being formatted by the camera or a computer.

Write-protect switch is write-protected.

• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately after using the camera, as the card may be hot.

• Keep the battery/card cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory

Card or turn the camera off while the data is being played back or saved to the card, or the camera is connected to a computer with the USB cable, as this may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.

• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away from water and store away from high temperature.

• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the card and render it unusable.

• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted.

(1) When the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.

(2) When the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.

(3) When the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.

(4) When the SD Memory Card is ejected or the battery is removed while the data on the card is being recorded or accessed.

• If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a computer.

• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may stop while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space in the memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment and Used

Batteries

1. In the European Union

These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying documents mean that used electrical and electronic equipments and batteries should not be mixed with general household waste.

Used electrical/electronic equipments and batteries must be treated separately and in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of these products.

By disposing of these products correctly you will help ensure that the waste undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health which could otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste handling.

If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown above, in accordance with the Battery Directive, this indicates that a heavy metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd =

Cadmium, Pb = Lead) is present in the battery at a concentration above an applicable threshold specified in the Battery Directive.

For more information about collection and recycling of used products, please contact your local authorities, your waste disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased the products.

2. In other countries outside the EU

These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard used products, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.

For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned free of charge to the dealer, even when you don’t purchase a new product. Further collection facilities are listed on the home page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
