PENTAX Service Center. Continued use can cause a fire or electrical shock.
 Caution
• Do not place your finger over the flash when discharging the flash. You may burn 
yourself.

occur. 
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is a risk of low temperature 
burns when holding such portions for long periods.
• Should the monitor be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be careful not 
to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes or mouth. 
• Depending on your individual factors or physical condition, the use of the camera may 
cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any abnormality, stop using the camera 
and get medical attention immediately.
