Care to be Taken During Handling Before Starting Use • 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-BC88. Do not use it with any other equipment. 5 Cautions when Carrying and Using the 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. • 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. About Repairs • 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. 6 About Storage • 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.

About the red-eye phenomenon Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is reflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area around the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle. Setting the flash mode to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is also an effective way of reducing red eyes. If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected by the red-eye compensation function (p.205).
