Precautions on Carrying and Using Your
Camera
Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity.
Do not leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get
very high.
• 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). Recorded data
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.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or
pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of
motorcycles, automobiles, or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is –10°C to 40°C (14°F to
104°F).
• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will
return to normal at normal temperatures.
About the Battery and Charger
• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This
is due to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the
inside and outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag
or a plastic bag, and remove it after temperature of the camera
and surroundings are equalized.
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery
performance. Avoid storing 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
usage span.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• 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.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed
exclusively for the battery charger D-BC90. Do not use it with
other devices.
• Please do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it
to break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the tripod screw when using a tripod.

Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner,
alcohol or benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or
viewfinder. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may
damage the lens.
• Please contact PENTAX Service Center for professional
cleaning of CCD Sensor. (This service will involve a fee.)
Storing Your Camera
• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage
in high temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow
on the camera. Remove the camera from its case and store it in
a dry and well-ventilated location.
Other Precautions
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to
maintain high performance.
regarding the SD Memory Card.
• Please note that deleting images or formatting the SD Memory

Troubleshooting
In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to
static electricity. This can be remedied by taking the battery out
and putting it back in again. When the mirror remains in the up
position, take the battery out and put it back in again. Then, the
mirror will retract when the camera is turned on again. If, after
performing these procedures, the camera operates correctly, it
does not require any repairs.
We recommend checking the following items before contacting
a service center.

however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees to be borne by
the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when required, please
keep the receipt 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 sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized
representatives 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.
WARRANTY POLICY
All PENTAX cameras purchased through authorized bona fide
photographic distribution channels 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 equipment 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 workmanship 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. No refunds
will be made on repairs by non-authorized PENTAX service facilities.

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
equipment 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 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 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 it serviced during the warranty period,
regular handling and servicing fees may be charged by the
