• Close the battery/card and terminal covers properly until they click. Otherwise
water may get in and damage the camera.
• Avoid opening the battery/card and terminal covers when near the waterside or
with wet hands. Wait until the camera is completely dry before changing the
battery or the SD Memory Card. Avoid changing the battery or card where the
camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that your hands are dry.
• The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap and slip
the strap over your wrist when using the camera in or near water.
• To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the lens is
protected by glass. As any dirt or water on the glass will affect the quality of
pictures taken, the glass should be kept clean at all times.
• Do not use the camera deeper than 12 meters underwater. Do not use the
camera underwater for more than 120 minutes consecutively.
• Do not open the battery/card and terminal covers underwater.
• Do not use in hot water or in a hot spring.
• Do not apply excessive force to the camera, for example diving into water with
it. Doing so may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera or
cause the covers to open.
• Leaving the camera on the sand at the beach may cause the camera to exceed
its operating temperature or cause the speaker or microphone to become
blocked with sand.
• Avoid subjecting the camera to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as
this may cause a loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is subjected to
substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest
PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
• Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause discoloration
of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off immediately with warm
water.
• Sudden and extreme changes in temperature may cause condensation to form
in and on the camera. Keep the camera in a bag or case to reduce the
difference in temperature.
