Precautions After Using the Camera in the Water

Do not open the battery/card cover or terminal cover if the camera is wet. Wipe off any water with a clean lint-free cloth.

The inside surface of the covers may get wet when they are opened. Wipe off any water that is on the cover.

Wiping off the camera while there is sand or dust on it may scratch the surface of the camera. Make sure that the battery/card cover and terminal cover are firmly closed before washing the camera in tap water. After washing the camera, dry it with a soft cloth.

Wipe off any dirt or sand on the waterproof packing or the packing contact surface. The camera’s waterproof performance may be compromised by loose packing or cracks or dents in the packing or packing contact surface. If there is any such damage, contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center.

If the camera is very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure that it is turned off and the battery/card and terminal covers are firmly closed before rinsing it under running tap water or leaving it in a bowl of clean water for a short time (2 or 3 minutes).

Avoid cleaning with agents such as soapy water, mild detergents, or alcohol as this may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera.

To maintain the waterproof performance of the camera, you are recommended to change the waterproof packing once a year. Contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center regarding changing the packing. (A charge will be made.)

The camera’s accessories are not waterproof.
