Warning
• Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are present
inside the camera, with the risk of electric shock.
• If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging
the camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is a risk of electric
shock.
• Wrapping the strap around your neck is dangerous. Take care that small
children do not hang the strap around their necks.
• If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor, stop
use immediately, remove the battery, and contact your nearest PENTAX
Service Center. Continuing to use the camera can cause a fire or electric
shock.

may burn yourself.
• Do not cover the flash with clothes when discharging the flash.
Discoloration may 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, 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.
